Funerals are like being in a waiting room when you see someone called back. Some people want to talk about nothing but what's coming: how good the doctor is, what they are going to be healed of, why they chose this doctor, how long they have been here waiting. Others want to talk about anything but where they are and why: how about the weather, how about them (insert local sports team here), the weather has sure been nice, i'm going to get something to drink, you want anything? And some just tend to everyone else: are you nervous, hungry, thirsty concerned, need fresh magazines (i'm stretching the analogy i know). Then an atheist wanders in and asks how long the wait is for a table because he's really hungry and he heard this restaurant was great.
