It's important to attend funerals. It is important to view the body, they say, and to see it committed to earth or fire because unless you do that, the loved one dies for you again and again.

About This Quote

Death is the end of life, but it is also something that can be used as an analogy for life. It is important to attend funerals so you can remember your loved ones and what they meant to you. You can also see what they aspire to be or how they wanted to live their lives. What's worse than living without them? Not having the chance to remember them, only to relive them again and again.
