Wondering what you think of live steaming of a funeral online.   Seems --barbaric to me.

I don't see it as any different than live streaming a wedding or a birthday or any other social function for people who can't make it due to distance, illness, etc....

Then again I love technology and the fact that we can do this these days.

I think for funerals it may make it easier for some people to grieve and having been there done that, I'm all for any process that may make it easier to get through this horrific process.

I can see how it would seem a little uncomfortable, but i also can see how it really would not be much different than watching a famous person's funeral on TV.    I would think however, most of an average person's funeral would only be followed by those who have a personal interest, with some of couse non-personal interest because that's just how some people are.

What's the big fucking deal if I would like to participate even if from afar?
