#But seriously Christian funerals are such a huge scam. Taking advantage of people at their most vulnerable.

I'm allowed to make this joke, but I love that Jewish death rituals are like:

"Pfeh, for what should I spend $12,000 on a big fekakte box they see only for five minutes before they cover it with dirt?"

"Don't waste my good suit what might fit my nephew Lev if the bum should ever even try to get a real job!"

"Embalming? Don't mind me, I'll rot in the dark."

#There is standardized Yiddish transliteration and I fart in it's general direction #Anyway Jewish ritual plain box simple shift closed casket no embalming #Spend money on bagels for after #There are a lot of prescribed behaviors for how to behave at the Shiva (mourning house calls) #My family observes none of them. We treat it like a family reunion #If you want all my petty family funeral drama though maybe a different post? #But seriously Christian funerals are such a huge scam. Taking advantage of people at their most vulnerable. #If you have an iron stomach go read about what happens to a corpse when it decays in a vacuum sealed coffin #Death #Death rituals #Judaism #jewish #Jumblr #Jew stuff #post o' mine #Clearing out the drafts #Offensive Yiddish accent clichés are for Jews only. #For this we came to America? To get made fun of on the feygele website by our great grandchildren?
