When was the last time you saw a dead man dancing?

I rest my case.

Sugar skulls are beautiful pieces of art and all, but they're made by the living for the living no matter how you spin it.

I mean, I'm really just responding to how you claimed that funerals aren't held for dead in any way whatsoever. If someone truly believes that life goes on after death, then to those people funerals are meant to honor the dead. Im not saying that the living don't get something out of it too. Maybe you're just saying that the cultural beliefs themselves are wrong and that funerals only impact the living, in which case I can't really argue with that because it's just a difference of belief. *shrug* I'm not even necessarily saying I believe it myself, but people definitely do. There's no way in hell that I'm going to convince you that the dead actually benefit. Lol. I think we can agree that the intention of those who hold these beliefs is that they are partly for the dead, even if their religious/cultural beliefs end up being objectively wrong in the grand scheme of things.
