Jesus I love a good eulogy,
Iâd hate to see them phased out.
You have to assume that the vast majority of funeral mass attendees are not regular mass goers, itâs likely the most relevant part for them, the rest of the time theyâre worried about standing up when they should be kneeling or mouthing out of date responses
Youâre auld boy passed away not so long ago, remember?
A good friend of our family is a Pastor up the country and did the Gospel and the homily at our Dadâs funeral. He couldnât have done a better job, put on a real Tour de France in his words linking death back to the words of the Bible. I said it to him to mention @Lazarus as the auld boy had so many near misses and he did brilliantly using that theme. The Priest we had would have been hard pressed to come up with the goods the way our family friend did.
That was an odd one⌠Cremated in spain as per wishes.
No real funeral. Not in the traditional sense anyway. I said my goodbyes in the hospital as he passed and shared tears and stories with his friends and some family who were over so i didnât have it in me to go again back in ireland.
The title Pastor brings some very dark connotations to my mind. I think The Coen Brothers are to blame.
Every third cunt who was a member of the UDA during the Troubles has a title âPastorâ
They never do
Absolute spoofers to a man and woman.
Money for literally old rope.
Will @Bandage deliver the eulogy on behalf of TFK.
That was an outstanding eulogy from Dela.
Quinlanâs one was the very same day a very prominent murder trial in the locality reached its verdict by the Jury in May 2019 so Iâd say there were a lot of people in attendance only mad to get out of the church and learn of the outcome.
I can see how that would be very relevant and poignant to be honest, the circle of life and all that 
Whatever about spoofers, but theyâre absolute gangsters. Think Bressie.
I was at a funeral not too long ago and they dragged the arse out of it. 2 hours in total. 2 hours in the church. With no eulogy either, just a poetic reflection he had requested. Most of the delay was an extremely slow priest⌠accompanied by multiple priests all wanting a shot at something and then the choir doing every single verse of every single song.
I had to get in the berlingo and get home before the storm that was about to flatten ireland and had the brotherâs 50th that night too so had plenty of reasons to be annoyed by the length but at the same time thatâs it. A funeral in a church cos the fella wanted it and was a big church man.
I think youâre being a fool here @glasagusban
I was at one recently there and he sounded like Larry Gogan throwing on a cd.
I was reading that some of Lemmyâs ashes are behind the bar at Stringfellows. One of his favourite places.
He could be a Deacon actually as I think of it 
Resident contrarian @glasagusban with some bizarre outpourings here.
Eulogy ban in Diocese of Meath for years now
The following regulations are to be followed at all funerals:
Appreciations or eulogies by family members or friends of the deceased should not take place in the Church but may take place after the Rite of Committal in the cemetery or when the family and friends gather.
https://donation.dioceseofmeath.ie/bishop-michael-smith-issues-guidelines-on-the-funeral-mass/
it is strictly enforced and causes issues at times
As usual with these things, the gobshites ruining it for everyone else.
