...why are they all "pure as the driven snow, brand new, salt of the earth, a scholar and a gentleman etc "? How come nobody ever describes them as nasty piece of work, dobber, muppet etc...

you don't talk ill of the dead, because they may just come back to haunt you.

Good people die, bad people don't. Fact.

I guess you weren't at my uncle's funeral - vicar had to take the mike from one less reserved mourner. Edit I'm in no way comparing him to the above 🙂

do they have no memory once their dead? all those times you called them a cockbag erased from memory when they pass over? they only hear when you speak ill of them once they're brown bread?

You usually hear the good stuff about people at funerals.
I don't know about you, but I tend not to go to the funerals of people I hate.
Well, maybe a couple, just to really make sure the bastards were dead, but not normally.

There was a freakonomics podcast about this recently. Quite interesting.

I went to a good old friend's funeral last year..

After a rather touching eulogy about a complete stranger that was given by the minister during the service, a rather more fitting eulogy was conducted outside in the car park by one of the more outspoken guests..
(although the bit about him sleeping with a lump hammer as a toddler and sharing an affinity with the Bulgarian Gypsy community was true..)

without a shadow of a doubt, the funniest part of the day, bar all the fighting at the wake..

'he wasn't a good friend to everyone present... he's [i]headbutted[/i] everyone present'

and..

'he wasn't kind to strangers.. not ever.. only last week we were drinking in the pub, and within half an hour of meeting a fella that was down on holiday, he'd thrown his false teeth onto the roof and nicked ten quid off him..!!'

😆

Of course it is easy to say that you intentionally did that. No one can prove otherwise. God will judge you.

No-one is perfect and many people are mostly imperfect. But we still loved them. What would be the point of complaining about their rough edges after they are dead? So we just remember why we loved them: the good bits.
