There have been prior posts discussing (some) JA habits on death, funerals, and graves.
Things like cell phone photos of bodies on the ground, some of the colorful/whimsical gravestones, etc.
It is always interesting to note, and try to understand cultural habits different from one's own. Add this to my list:
"A group of exuberant attendees jumped into the hearse."
Jump into a hearse before a funeral??? What the what? and they look like grand marshalls at a parade. Color me confused.
"Funeral attendees rush Roger’s casket in Savanna la mar"
