I've failed to see a "celebration of death" outlined in this thread. What I have seen, are examples of celebrating a person's life, after their passing. did u look around the corners? |

I don't know that this is a religious question, in fact i have inside info it has nothing to do with the matter, but why do you suppose the Irish celebrate death rather than mourn it unlike most others in the world? why be sad over something thats going to happen, regardless? celebrate their life, not be sad because of an inevitable happening... |

I don't know about now but didn't the Irish have a period of mourning where the women practiced "keening" (lengthy high pitched wailing and crying) before the wake was held...?

When I die, I would be upset if my family sat around mourning and wailing. I spend around 250 a year on life insurance so my parents can bury me. I have it set up at the bank so that my parents can clean out my account. I want them to enjoy what I have worked for. As a Christian death is no big deal to me. I just hope that it isn't no big deal to my relatives.

Idk the answer to the op. But I'm Irish and Native American, and I'm from New Orleans. In this city we celebrate death, or rather we celebrate the life of the one who passed away. While others may cry at a wake, we're drinking and partying. Perhaps it's because death is never far away here, we're had wars, multiple yellow fever epidemics, hurricanes, river floods and economic depressions. I say why mourn when you can celebrate a life lived.
