On caskets and funerals

religion #death #funerals

I spoke at my grandfather's wake tonight. I kept it as short as I could and used this Cory Booker quote.

The casket he's in was made by my father in about three days. Maple and hickory. (Heavy AF. g) Because I got in as fast as I did, I was able to help, and it's a strong feeling to have been a part of it.

Tonight was the viewing and the wake (Catholic service) and tomorrow is the funeral, the luncheon, and the burial.

Currently we're having the Irish version of the wake and my family is letting me sit in the corner and be. I appreciate them for it.
