A comment on The Lonely Funeral Project in Amsterdam. Parent comment
As I said:
>Funerals, like life, are for the living. The dead don't care -- they're dead.
As such, what you're doing isn't to benefit the dead. Nothing can benefit them.
It's to benefit the living as I said. And there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's a lovely thing to do.
But it doesn't benefit the dead in any way and pretending it does seems disingenuous IMHO.
That said, knock yourself out. I have no issue with what you're doing.
