Top 10 Things You Should Never Do at a Funeral

Funerals are very serious things. Don't go to one and do any of these things.

(Also, if you're actually going to one soon, you might want to save this for later.)

1. Sit on the dead person

   Well, I can't say I disagree, but if they're in a coffin, how would you even hope to accomplish this?

   Do you want everyone to joke about sitting on your dead body?

2. Laugh

   

   This should be at number 2 or 3 since "Sit on the dead person" and "Start a fight" are on there. This is very disrespectful to the deceased person, as well as their family and friends.

   Why isn't this ranked number one? If you laugh at a funeral, not only will you receive disapproving looks from everyone, but they might also metaphorically send you to Mars.

   Unless it's the funeral of a serial killer, pedophile, rapist, or gang member.

3. Make jokes

   You shouldn't make jokes, even if they have nothing to do with the funeral or the deceased person. Funerals are sad events and a tribute to the deceased.

   "I hate how funerals are at 9 am. I'm not really much of a mourning person."

   But in all seriousness, funerals are not really a place to tell jokes.

   If you're like me and have a clearly vivid sense of humor, it's not exactly a great idea to use it at a funeral.

4. Blast a very loud heavy metal song

   Unless it's a song the deceased wanted to be played at their funeral.

   This is just plain wrong, given the context.

5. Start a fight

   

   Funerals are not supposed to be violent. If a fight occurs, it is considered very offensive towards the deceased person along with their family and friends.

   Note: Why is there a picture of cats fighting instead of humans or stick figures?

6. Fall asleep

   I think this is worse than farting because it's usually easier to avoid and harder to ignore.

   That would be a little disrespectful.

7. Fart

   

   It's not a great idea to fart in public in the first place, but funerals are really bad places to cut the cheese.

8. Listen to loud music

9. Get drunk

   

   I imagine a lot of people actually might do this, but it could lead to some serious problems.

10. Burp

    Same idea as farting. It's just bad manners anyway.

13. Blame someone

14. Read this list

    It might make you laugh, and laughs are very out of place at funerals.

15. Read a book

    

    Again, this is deemed disrespectful by most people.

    Yeah, this is a sign of boredom and not caring.

16. Eat a snack

    

    Not as bad as burping or passing gas, but still, funerals are supposed to be pretty silent. If you have hypoglycemia, I suppose it's okay, but still...

    It depends. If it's good, you can, as long as you make sure to be quiet.

17. Speculate on who will be next

    Possibly the worst thing to do at a funeral. I might want this to happen at mine!

    I'm surprised neither I nor anyone else thought of this.

18. Go on social media

    Really, social media is a headache anyway, and you can check out whatever it is later.

19. Stream Netflix on your phone

    

    You really shouldn't have your phone with you if this is what you use it for.

20. Watch YouTube

    

    Same idea as Netflix.

21. Play video games

22. Avoid answering questions

23. Claim the deceased is in hell

24. Get the Coronavirus

25. Badmouth the deceased

26. Cry on the body

27. Arrive late

    Arriving late shows that you didn't care about them enough.
