Death gives forum to display bad manners, throw lavish banquets

They say there is a season and a time for everything under the sun and it seems that of late this seems to be the season of death. In the last couple of weeks, I have found myself in many death related situations-being notified of a death, at a funeral service, at a burial fundraiser-all serious matters to do with death. While I do not wish to diminish the grief that comes with death, I must say in my view, funerals have become the latest avenue for displaying the worst of human behaviour.
