While we’re all for bending and breaking traditions—some practices should be kept conservative. For instance, we can’t say we’re too comfortable with changing up the dynamics of a funeral. Sure, funerals aren’t exceptionally lively but that’s kind of the point. They are held to honor and pay respect to someone who has died—in as classy and dignified way as possible.
