I guess I like how funerals and shivas are times when we realize how much we, the living need each other and can be there for each other. And even if we think we're going to drop the coffin, we don't.
I will remember this line for the rest of my life. Thank you.
My experience has only been with Catholic and non-denominational Christian (aka "generic") funerals. These ranged from three weeks as we got from point A to point B or the "short" version which was 7 days from death to burial.
We desert peoples don't keep bodies around for very long ...

I think you have the right idea.
Cheers and love to you both for the New Years.
