“Funerals are pretty compared to death”
Tennessee Williams
“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
Jerry Seinfeld
“All say, how hard it is that we have to die - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live”
Mark Twain
“The bitterest tear shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone”
Harriet Beecher Stowe
“If you want to see what your friends and family think of you, die broke, and see who comes to your funeral”
Gregory Nunn
“The reason so many people turned up at his funeral is that they wanted to make sure he was dead.”
Samuel Goldwyn
“When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.”
John Donne
