are you serious?

it's a christian thing, you wouldn't understand

Yeah, it's real, but tons of Americans find it weird too.

yeah
i was watching american movies like sixth sense and they are fucking eating snacks while dressed in black lmao
what the fuck america

That's just a wake isn't it?

>ewwww!!! yucky dead guy!!! mommy help me i'm scared!!!!
this is why muslims are taking your women you soft, sheltered little pussies

there are drive through open casket funerals too

no fucking way

>americans are unironically defending this

Ye old timey tradition, along with taking creepy photos of dead people to make them look like they where still alive

We have wakes here.

I don't think so. "Open casket" means you don't close the coffin until you go to put them in the ground.

Wakes are the night before the funeral, not the service itself.

>scandis are unironically this effeminate

My dad is from Pampanga in the Philippines

When my grandma died they held a fiesta

There was even a tradition where they couldn't leave the dead alone overnight so my dad, my mum and his relatives all slept in the church

My family did this when my grandpa died 2 years ago, it was the last time i saw my grandpa peacefully sleeping forever.
i liked it tbqh pham

>in somebody's home for all to watch while the surrounding people eat food and snacks
It's not someone's home it's in a church or funeral home and the reception is after the body has been buried.

And? Watch so strange about that? We have wakes here too.

>snowniggers spoiled by satan's touch cant understand how christian's traditions works

we have open casket (unless the one dead is fucked up beyond recognition) until it's time to put them in the ground

why are danes such fucking manbois they can't even see the dead without pissing their pants covered in pig cum?

>looking at a dead old man in a casket is considered manly in USA

Smelly dumb pagan scum

Yeah. You have an open casket and it's like a party - everyone gets together to talk about the person who died and shit. Even funerals without an open-casket service are parties here. I know the concepts of 'fun' and 'meaningful social interaction' are completely alien to snowniggers, but even you should be able to understand.

it's ok sven i promise the spooky dead man won't hurt you

although come to think of it scandcucks are too autistic to have any sort of social gathering in the first place so maybe that explains it

because it usually takes a week or two for the funeral procedings to happen and nobody wants to have a half rotten corpse as the last memory of the deceased person

>freaking out over seeing a dead person at a wake is normal in Sweden

What's the fucking point?

Do you think the person wanted to be put on display when he died? Fucking fatties had to include food somehow aswell

>Do you think the person wanted to be put on display when he died?
Yes

kek

just bury the damn corpse and be done with it, I didn't know it was such a sensitive issue to you

>because it usually takes a week or two for the funeral procedings
holy shit what???? it takes literally a couple of days to get someone from the status of 'found rip' to the funeral (or burning) here. they spend a day in the morgue for the specialist to find out specific cause of death and prep them for the funeral, but that's about it for delays

you're the one sperging out over a pretty common christian tradition that multiple nations ITT have said they also participate in

People usually express how they want to be buried in advance here. So yes, in a lot of cases they do actually want to have an open-casket service.

it is more about celebrating the things the person did while alive and saying goodbye to him.

>martha when I inevitably get shot by those negroes down the block make sure to put my disgusting ass corpse on display so you all can eat mayo with spoons and pretend you gave a shit

You're the one who seems to be overly sensitive about it

Why the fuck do you care anyway

not sperging out, just making fun of it

BOOOOOOO
GET OUTTA TOWN
YOU SUCK

Dumbass

I have only been in a funeral with an open casket once and it was an Orthodox funeral.

To be honest, I thought saying goodbyes to a dead guy would be more spooky but it wasn't that weird

>Why the fuck do you care anyway
it's called shitposting you dumb burger

>sperging out over someone else's decisions
Get some help bud

>random country anywhere in the world has a tradition
>ok
>america has a tradition
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH WHY DO AMERICANS DO THIS?????
why are europeans so obsessed with us?

It's a little more complicated here, because people often die thousands of miles away from where they'll eventually be buried. For example, I live in Memphis and one of my friends died while in Portland. The family had his body transported back here (about 3500 km) to bury him in a family plot at a local cemetery.

depends on the family, when my uncle died, his sons/daughter wanted to do the whole works with the funeral. My father just wanted to bury him and get back home, seemed like a waste of time since his brother was already dead.

i think you're just triggered over the entire thread laughing at your autistic country for being afraid of dead people (and socializing)

t. triggered Americlap

If it is you're horrible at it and should probably cut to the chase and kys your self

You're pretty bad at it then

Funny how judgemental americans are about islamic traditions yet they have retarded barbaric shit like this.

>(and socializing)
it's a funeral mate not a party

>waaah I can't handle banter

the Dane started it

Funny how judgemental swedes are about christian traditions yet they have nothing at all

you mean your funerals don't turn into parties once the deceased has been buried or burned? what the fuck kind of autist country are you actually?

in normal countries where people aren't soft manchildren people generally don't spend the entire funeral weeping and cowering away from the coffin like girls. there's plenty of casual conversation and socializing.

It's funny how obsessed you are with things that shouldn't matter to you

>muh christianity
>worshiping a dead jew on a stick
I guess worshiping jewish overlords comes naturally to Americans

the party is after, not really part of the funeral itself

>all these people, non-americans included, defending this shit

Again, I fail to see how looking at a corpse makes you manly. I've worked in elderly homes and saw dead people all the time, it's not a big deal

KEK Europistanis are SO MAD right now!

My grandfather died when I was 6 and I remember his funeral. Even for a being a small child, I wasn't scared about it or found it anything weird.

says the swede who actually had to make a thread because the fact that another country has different funeral traditions than his is just so bewildering
are you happy with your le epic bant thread dumbass

Nice projection

Nah but at least we have a culture

Are you a child?

being able to look at a corpse without pissing your pants or breaking out sobbing doesn't make you manly it makes you normal. scandcucks are apparently the only ones who are terrified of dead people and treat funerals like these horrible nightmarish events where they all stay as far away from the coffin as possible and nobody talks

Most of the funerals I've been to are incredibly boring. Except the crying, could do without that.

>yes yes I would like to have my loved one displayed so I can say goodbye to a fucking corpse, all whilst eating

>the party is after, not really part of the funeral itself
well good for at least that

kek

the guy in your gif is a Norwegian celebrity

dont you have a feast or smt to remember the dead, not open casket dracula shit, just a memorial dinner or smt

I'm saying because I've seen forum posts where people ask if their child wouldn't be traumatized by seeing a dead body at a funeral, but no, I wasn't phased by it at all.

This whole thread is fucking autism personified

we have a glorious feast right after we have sent the dead one away. it has a name, but it is untranslatable to english. we set a table and in the centre we set a seat for the one who has gone away with body, but remains with us in spirit. we fill the glass with drink and plate with food so when we salute his/her name the spirit is taking part in the sending away...

Not sure where you're getting this from. Our funerals are like yours except with closed caskets, probably more silent during the event because we show respect to the dead person and his loved ones. But you Americans seem to have a hard time knowing when to shut your mouths

Personally I'd like to be cremated when I die because you'll just be forgotten in 100 years anyway, so there's no point in burial unless you're famous.

It's usually after.
We sit in church and listen to the priest and family talk about the dead guy then he gets buried so they have to transport the body.

After that there's usually food with pictures of the dead guy around

i'm getting this from this thread where you and the danecuck are the only prissy little fruitcakes who are offended at the idea of looking at a corpse or speaking at a funeral while every other country agrees that viewings are normal and funerals are supposed to be social events

What you are describing is a wake which usually takes place the day before the funeral. Open casket funeral is just a normal funeral but with the casket open hence the name.

but why would you want to look at a corpse though

>But you Americans seem to have a hard time knowing when to shut your mouths
You Swedes have a hard time knowing when to shut your borders.

I was in my grandfather's funeral a couple months ago and it was quite nice.

First the coffin is brought to the church yard by a funeral coach, then six men of the family, including me, my brother and my father come and pick up the coffin and slowly walk through the aisle of this old wooden church while the organs are playing and lay the white birch coffin next to the altar where the priest performs the final blessing and pours gravel on the coffin in the shape of a cross.

Then the funeral convoy, led by the six men carrying the coffin and the priest walk through the cemetery to lay the coffin on top of the scaffold overlooking the grave site. After this everyone lays their flowers on the coffin and says their final words to the deceased. First comes the widow and the couple's children, then comes the grandchildren and after that siblings.

Finally the six men who carried the coffin to the grave site come and slowly lower the coffin into the pit while the priest sings a deep hymn with the funeral envoy. After this the everyone tosses a fistful of soil on the coffin and says their final goodbyes.

I was never really close with my grandfather and didnt really feel anything when he died, I only cried in the funeral when I saw how heartbroken everyone was, nobody could hold back their tears in that moment.

After that came the memorial situation where everyone gathered in the cemetery chapel to eat together and celebrate the life of the deceased.

This was in rural Karelia though, I don't know about funeral traditions elsewhere, pic related was the church

We have wakes to but people don't come to eat there. They come to salute the person.

we have that custom here too, it's called daća

because it's part of the traditional ceremony and nobody really cares either way because we're not little sissy swedebois

The food is usually pretty minimal and included just as part of the reception afterwards

We have the open caskets but I've never seen it combined with snacks. As was said about the open casket is at a viewing which is done at a funeral home, followed by the funeral and burial, followed by the reception where you have food.

and here it's part of tradition to not display the body out of respect, and we don't care what you do either

It's not masculinity it's just whether or not you have the psych

Who is it?

>we don't care what you do either
and yet little sissy scandbois are the ones who made the thread and then started shitposting in it after you got thoroughly BTFO by most of the civilized world

Open casket wakes always have sweet food and incense, because that masks the rotting smell. After the 12th hour, the body starts to smell sweet, and sugary foods mask that.

>wakes
>one night
What? Ours up north last 3 days

Also I would like a viking funeral where I am put on a boat with all my possessions (including my still-alive gf) and then the whole thing is torched

When my grandma we went to see her corpse

I dont know is that ant weirder?

Because they have grown weak so they need us to protect their pussy asses

coroners usually use preservative chemicals to prevent that

We have the incense too, but like I said never seen snacks, the open casket is done at a funeral home (i.e., place where bodies are embalmed) so probably it wouldn't even be legal to serve food.

Comfy
