Very interesting. Thanks for posting this.
Also interesting that the young man, Benjamin, has created so many jobs for people in his area.
@adrift – Indeed. It’s beautiful on a multitude of levels 🙂
@thenerve I agree.

Beautiful and inspiring! What a way to lift your spirits!! I was immediately reminded of the jazz funerals in New Orleans where I grew up. There funerals can be both a joyous celebration of the life of the departed or a mournful and sad occasion. I’ve seen both.
@oswego – Where I grew up, the day of the funeral is always solemn, but every year-versary it’s a party at the graveyard. They’re SERIOUS about it too: they come in and arrange their grave *days* before with flowers, sculptures, and on the day of the anniversary, they bring food, tables, more flowers, singing bands, lights, booze, and they go from day to night in a bona fide party. This is repeated on the day of the dead as well, so each dead gets two parties a year, basically 🙂
It just warms my heart that someone can do a FUNERAL with such gaiety, sending their loved one off with such love and good vibes, instead of sadness, which must be one hell of a load upon the loved one’s shoulders as they try taking off to their new plane of existence…
@thenerve funeral anagram: real fun. For what it’s worth. I’m impartial on the matter.
@elcreature – Oooooh, nice!
