in my hometown

In my hometown, when someone dies, we all call to attend a funeral. We have music and some person’s performance at the stage to have fun of us. We laugh loudly before the body of the dead people, coz we might thought they have the ability to see the activities so that they will not feel lonely the night before we send them to the place where their bodies burnt.
We’ve kept this custom for years, nobody think it’s unrespectable to the dead ones. Actually I really approve this. We must be sad about the dead ones; people cry and shout all the time. We have to relax so that we can bear the burden death brined to us. Most of us find death a horrible thing. We dare not to face death directly in a funeral. Like me, I would rather hide away from the funeral but not attend it. I’m completely afraid of listening the songs which only are widely heard when a people die. The songs make you feel sad really and also let you think of the dead one.
But there are things we have to face in our life, our relative’s death for example. We can’t lose the braveness to live and we should live happier as they wish. We have no choice but hide our sadness back and try to be positive.
