You had a funeral for a loved one. Was it a social necessity, or was it for your benefit?

Our family tradition is to set up a big table in the room during the visitation. Everybody in the family brings an item that reminds them of the deceased and places it on the table. It usually sparks a long night of story-telling (especially if alcohol is involved). Some crazy stuff ends up on there.

That’s a great tradition.
