Why People Stick Around Their Own Funerals?

But somehow, by some miracle, we each managed to heal our wounds during his final weeks on earth, forgive him, and rediscover the love for him we'd buried a long time ago. The conversation about what to do regarding his funeral and afterward brought us all together out of love for him and a desire to do something meaningful with his ashes--rather than just another gripe session. And that? I think that more than anything else was what he wanted to be around to witness.

Absolutely, the heart is known from the other side and that is more than working within the remit of doing the right thing with a bad heart. (So I think)

It makes some of them feel good to know they were cared about. That's one of the reasons I would go. Lol I don't know it kind of makes you feel good about yourself if there are a lot of people.

Hello

At times its that place of being curious on what is said on them that one had in life that follows them over in death. We want to know what will be said but we don't want to have to die to find out.

I as a rule avoid the funerals of one's as there is just too much emotions there that I pick up on made worse if its a graveside one as many come in to have a chat. Its not like I can say excuse me while I go over a few plots to have a wee chat with someone.

I have had some Spirits come to me that are very unsettled from attending their funerals and what has been said or what has happened. They are not always the peaceful event we want them to be. I wont be having one ( I hope) so I wont have to worry on it.

It wasn't the spirit of the husband of my friend who came to me at the last funeral at a chapel I attended, rather another very beautiful wonderful white lady with flowers around her head, unsure now whether she was elemental or what.
But he did show up later during our lunch break at work, joking about having one of our sandwiches.

I wouldn't think someone would be there to look at their body. I think some stick around for their own funerals to be with their loved ones for spiritual guidance. I recently lost my grandmother and I felt her at the funeral viewing and funeral the entire time. I don't know how to channel those who have passed on, so I didn't know what she was thinking or doing. I would have to say she was there to guide my family and me.
