Never Say These Things At A Funeral
2
  • Theres no doubt that death is an unhappy and
    unwelcome truth of life, and its closeness makes
    us feel uncomfortable like anything else can.
    Indeed, even the friendliest or talkative person
    finds it difficult to talk to somebody who is
    grieving the demise of a friend, a family member
    or a companion. Lets take a look at a few things
    you need to avoid saying at funerals.

3
  • "I Know How You Feel"
  • Actually, no, you don't have an idea how it
    feels. Like our identities, the manner in which
    each of us responds and reacts to pain is
    different. Expressing that you know how any other
    individual feels is a bit snobbish disdainful.
    Also, if you don't know how somebody grieving
    demise is feeling in their heart, its just
    alright to simply say, "I don't have words to say
    anything, but please know that I'm sad and
    sorry." Try not to say simply, "I'm sad for your
    misfortune." As this expression is too common and
    sounds unsettling for the grieving person.

  • "He/She Is In A Better Place Now."
  • Any individual who expresses this expression has
    unmistakably never faced the loss of someone
    close because of death. Regardless of the
    possibility that you trust that the best place is
    paradise, saying this expression to the mourner
    recommends that he or she in some way or another
    should feel happy about the misfortune and that
    crying and showing pain about the circumstance is
    strange. So, avoid saying this statement.

5
  • "Dont To Cry" Or "Be Strong.
  • Remarking on how somebody is reacting to or
    managing of a negative circumstance is bad and
    serves no purpose instead creates sentiments of
    guilt or even bitterness. Overall, individuals
    encounter a few comparable stages or periods of
    pain grief after loss of a companion. However,
    exactly when and how somebody displays his or her
    pain anguish is a personal decision. Asking a
    griever that he or she should not express
    emotions naturally can result in an irregular or
    complex reaction as the griever can't handle, or
    acknowledge, the sentiments connected with a loss
    due to death.

  • "He/She Looks So Natural."
  • Have you ever taken a look at a living individual
    and said a statement like this before? Of course
    not, because somebody who looks natural in life
    will also look natural after death. He/she would
    not become artificial. In other words, theres no
    need to make a remark on it. Saying this remark
    when taking a look at a deceased person lying in
    a coffin just emphasizes that he or she is not
    alive.

7
  • Tell Me, If I Can Offer Help."
  • Saying to someone grieving because of demise -
    and exhausted by the large number of choices he
    or she made in the previous few days, and then
    asking them to make yet another choice is
    insensitive, uncaring and oppressive. However,
    one thing you can ask the grieving person is to
    check whether the deceased person had taken a
    Funeral Plan or not. A Funeral Plan can surely
    bring a lot of financial and other support to the
    mourner.
