I agree. I know this is going to sound creepy, but in certain African countries like Ghana there is a video made of the funeral just like they do for weddings. And when you miss whoever has passed away, you get to watch the video. It doesn't bring them back but you get to see the person.
- mgkimsal 11y agodoesn't sound creepy to me at all. i wish it was done more.
- mgkimsal 11y agoi wanted to take pics and video at a funeral as there was a family member who couldn't be there, and was told to stop (by other family). Same family member who couldn't there was, days later, at a funeral of her own (in a different country) and received a DVD of the service. Very much 'cultural norms' at play, and it'll be many more years before video of funerals is considered 'normal'.
- Amanjeev 11y agoNot creepy at all. I wanted to make a video of my brother but I was immediately shunned by some religious elders.
- dexterdog 11y agoHow dare you try to grieve in your own way.
