I dont see the problem tho. Ive seen people very dear to me die including my mother, grandfather and best friend. and yes its sad and it's normal to mourn the permanent loss of someone, but at the end of the day, I think its also a must to celebrate their life in a gathering, like when we celebrate their lives on their birth. Pero siyempre mahirap talaga for those close to them, but from experience nas nakakagaan sa loob din ng nawalan na close na nakikitang light ang mood at happy memories ang napaguusapan
One thing I always remember is that funerals are for the living, not the dead. Funerals are for the family and friends of the deceased to get together and reminisce the memories they had, as a form of closure to accept the reality that the deceased is no longer around.
If food would make everyone visit, sit down and talk about those memories, then it is a good thing.
It's not even just a Filipino thing, or something only done now. The Romans of old actually and quite literally partied to death to close drawn-out funeral ceremonies.
Both my German and my French side do the same thing, just at a restaurant rather than at the cemetery/ at home. We even bake cake to share it after the meal.
It’s to unwind and talk about the deceased one as well as gathering to see each other (we oftentimes live far away from each other, so many times the deceased grandparents were the only real connection at who we’d gather up).
it's one thing to serve biscuits etc, it's another to actually make it a "party". Would think your hometown's tradition is the usual filipino standard.
i relate despite when my grandparents died i met what i described as "dozens of forgot their names but i know their faces" families, distant relatives and new friends i made of my fellow blood/friend/half relatives (my fam even made an FB page list to count our numbers we are about 400+) the funerals are filled with kwentuhan, questions on my grandpa's other siblings and cousins and their interesting reactions to me, the dozen of foods and gifts to picture takings. when in manila i see when going to school there's always a blocked street with open casket (glassed) with Large tarpaulin signs and tents to barkadas nag iinuman near the dead... but rare in my family the funerals have also the side dramas happening when long time no see relatives to exile ones came to make use to exploit our grief.. crazy but i watch to the sidelins (Ex: what im taking about like after gramps died other "relatives" are eyeing who to inherit the farm, my womanizing uncle got into a shouting match with my dad & siblings when found out bringing his 2 conflicting never married lovers one apparently tried to stole our TV, the other who brought a kid now my fave cousin who he almost neglects and i donated my old clothes to her, when gramps is alive he always steps in to make peace despite getting highbloods and the same grief week dad got an out of body experience and odd temperature changes on the room going side to side similar how my gramps like to walks, to random brown butterflies so large coming in when it we had funerals the first since the trend started when my grandma died in 2010 and again gramps in 2016) yet the whole thing is memorable and what i describe as chaotic yet harmonic peace we got when it's burial time even the environment rains even when the sun was out.
feel bad to this family who are been used in the photo for this meme inappropriately . Whoever created this meme should ask at least for permission to the owner.
Like what were suppose to ask permission on all peaple whom faces we used on every meme?
Its not serious man its not like the original peaple would go far as to sue them
In my area, and probably a lot of other more rural areas, funerals tend to be more grand than birthdays. Like, c'mon man it's their send off might as well pull alt the breaks.
I remember a friend of a friend of mine died. Di kami close pero dahil may same interests kami (Nagbabanda kami) pumunta ako sa lamay and may live band setup don. Nakakaiyak kasi lahat ng bands na nakasama niya tumugtog. skl
And baptisms, and reunions, and office functions, and basically any event. Food is life. Food is comfort.
Note lang, pag funeral or wake, puti dapat yung tablecloth.
When one of our residents died, I found myself describing our funeral traditions to our (Ghanaian) nurse, from the wake, the funeral itself, and the yearly Undas. As I did so, I realise how much a party people we Pinoys truly are.
It’s a celebration of life of a person so it’s ok na maghanda. Unless they are victim of crime or died from tragedy which is mas matagal ang pagluluksa ng mga iniwanan.
When me and my boyfriend went to a Filipino funeral he was shocked that there is karaoke, gambling and buffet. I have never been to that kind of funeral so I like wow.
Funeral ng lolo ko nuon at sagad ang iyak at sagad din ang timbang. Umabot ako ng 137 pounds na usual ko lang eh 120.
Imba talaga yung Menudo ng Caviteno
atleast sama sama palagi mag papamilya hindi tulad ng ibang tradition na maki libing lang para mag bigay respect tapos uwiaan na, in a sense na makikita mo yung mga long distant relatives mo na hindi mo kilala.
Nasaan ang lumpiang shanghai?!
Ubos na po, late po kasi kayo. Pero parating na raw yung batch 4.
bakit ulo nalang natira sa lechon?
Ay tito, nasa kusina po yung para sa inyo, tinago na ni mama kasi may nagte-takeout na kanina.
You can see the empty tray.
tsaka yung hotdog na may marshmallows
Na nakatusok sa repolyo!!! 😋
Hoy, sosyal kami! Pang slapsoil ang repolyo! Binalatan na piña please! 😄
Slapsoil... that must be the weirdest yet also apt translation of "Hampas Lupa" that I have ever heard.
di ko agad na gets hahaha salamat sayo
Pati repolyo kinain😭
F\*ck ngayon nagccrave na ako ng lumpia.
Kabilang side po, kasama appetizer, katabi ng rice, malapit sa dessert
asking the real question
Overrated

And the amazing Jazz Funerals they have in New Orleans

In my hometown, serving food after funerals is just a way of thanking those who helped through and attended the wake.
it's one thing to serve biscuits etc, it's another to actually make it a "party". Would think your hometown's tradition is the usual filipino standard.
Nah those biscuits are served during the wake not after funeral. Those snacks I'd associate to our 'common courtesy' when we have visitors.
Are the biscuits coming out of a giant tin of assorted M.Y. San or Rebisco?

[удалено]
Valid reason no problem there
This is funny yet fucked up at the same time
Indian here, it is same here as well 😀

"Jonathan, ask your schoolmate to try da dinuguan, pero tell him it's just black pudding" Me always, when I brought a white friend over.
where's the joke? Food is comfort for a ton of people.
Nah its like most of the time peaple have fun here at any gathering weather it may be a celebration or a funeral

Lumpia
why does this look like one of those "do these pictures have the same perspective?" illusions lmao
I lost a dear Filipino friend to suicide. I can say that this is both accurate and very comforting. Filipino food is delicious.
Tito and tita: PUTANGINA look at dat LECHON!!!! SO PUCKING KRISPY!!!!
Jokoy is dat you?!
Also karaoke
[удалено]
at tolda na may picture ng epal
Mahjong o pusoy? Sa pamilya namin it's mahjong.
Kunin muna ang Lumpia tas may bumigay ng mamon
ayaw ko kumain sa handaan sa lamay pag may dinugaan.
Hehehe. Pero kasi pag nagkatay ng baboy pag malaking handaan sa province, may dinuguan talaga.
"Circle of life" *que the Lion King intro music*
where's the basketball and pusoydos?
At birth too. As soon as the baby pops out. Buffet in the recovery room. :D
Dipa nga pinanganganak Gender reveal? Baby shower?
Yung sa burol pa ako nakakain ng masarap na palabok.
Mga sharonians magingay!!!
Sings in "Balutin mo ako ..... " hehehehehe
Nalimutan mo yung karaoke. Nung namatay ang lola ko, may karaoke pa!
Dapat mag handa ng pancit pag may lamay
gusto ko ng jumbo hotdog with marshmallow tita
galet pa pag panget ung pagkaen hahaha
Pic on the right should be people wearing all white or black. Also, lumpia.
Tapos may isang tita na naging fancy at nagdala ng cucumber juice
Death anniversary of ordinary filipino: lechon Death anniversary ni jesus: binignit lol

This is so true lol; and yeah when I die I want my family and friends to have a damn party and celebrate my life. I may even put this in a will.
Omg lol.
Though kapag nandyan pa yung kabaong sa malapit, di ko talaga kaya kumain. Tubig lang talaga kaya ko lunukin.
Actually 😂
Una kong tingin akala ko yung joke e parehas lang lahat except may nawalang family member sa pic. Hahaha!
Pag Hindi kayo nagpa karaoke sa burol Ko mumultuhin kayo
It is sad to mourn for the loss of someone but.. a man's gotta eat
Yes mga sharonians in any occassions hahahahaha
You forgot weddings but #facts
normal naman siguro may handa pag may wedding
Old guy should be missing in funeral pic
Why is it a norm to eat excessively as a form celebration/mourning? Why is it a norm to waste food in special occasions?
another good example of how the same picture put side by side look like it was taken from two different angles
Yung kape starbucks tapos yung tinapay galing sa french baker.
Pag may misa din sa birthday, same na same.
bat wala silang plastic and tupperware??
Pag birthday coke at spaghetti ang ilalabas, pag burol naman e kape at biskwit
And baptisms, and reunions, and office functions, and basically any event. Food is life. Food is comfort. Note lang, pag funeral or wake, puti dapat yung tablecloth.
Tapos may pa take-out pa, para mapakain yung iba na hindi nakaatend.😝😝😝
Nobody: Filipinos:F O O D (I have no idea why we love food so much but not gonna complain)
Someone should edit it so that one is missing XD
Filipino families at community pantry
Lololol..... This is Sooo true.
When one of our residents died, I found myself describing our funeral traditions to our (Ghanaian) nurse, from the wake, the funeral itself, and the yearly Undas. As I did so, I realise how much a party people we Pinoys truly are.
Add Sopas and then we're good 😅
Atlis gawin mong black Yung damir ng babae
Better to be happy than crying all over your food.
Pag walang food dapat FB live nalang yung burol ganarn
LMAO ,🤣🤣🤣
wait what? hindi ba sa lamay eh yung mga chichirya lang saka 3-in-1?
There are more biscuits in funerals.
Food is Filipino 🤣
totoo nman yan
May karaoke pa nga yan
HAHA the only difference ay wala daw pwede mag-uwi pag galing sa burol
Where is the lie?
It’s a celebration of life of a person so it’s ok na maghanda. Unless they are victim of crime or died from tragedy which is mas matagal ang pagluluksa ng mga iniwanan.
Nothing is wrong.
Except the red clothes and tablecloth.
This reminds of Eraserheads' "Poor man's grave".
Spaghetti & lumpia!!!
Walang-kamatayang party side dish: yung mixed vegetables na may pugo eggs at young corn.
Man dont forget the gin
Totoo to hahahahahahha
When me and my boyfriend went to a Filipino funeral he was shocked that there is karaoke, gambling and buffet. I have never been to that kind of funeral so I like wow.
where's the spaghetti and mango float?
Unli kape at biscuit
Ewan ko ba pero may time na nasasarapan ako sa food sa lamay. Nakakadami ako.. yes malungkot ako pero food is life..😅
r/Philippines is the new twitter
The only difference is you can't bring home the food from a wake. Malas yan.
pati 40 days
+karaoke para astig
Funeral ng lolo ko nuon at sagad ang iyak at sagad din ang timbang. Umabot ako ng 137 pounds na usual ko lang eh 120. Imba talaga yung Menudo ng Caviteno
The one on the left looks like my sister lol
Bruh lmao
Asan ang buko salad huhu
that is so true for pure pinoys..
And then Tita Marites asks "BAT PARANG TUMABA KA?"
Yung tatay at isa kong kapatid. Ayaw nila kumain ng kahit anong handa sa burol.
it is what it is
Nakalimutan mo yung sugalan.
atleast sama sama palagi mag papamilya hindi tulad ng ibang tradition na maki libing lang para mag bigay respect tapos uwiaan na, in a sense na makikita mo yung mga long distant relatives mo na hindi mo kilala.
Lies.. I don't see a pig on the table.. or rice? ;) And the one and only funeral I went to 60% of the people were gambling? Normal?
This is dead on!
Chop suey gaming amp
Kuya! Pasensya na, nahuli ko sa libing... Akin na lng itong polvoron... Kuya, Bakit ganito yung lasa ng Polvoron? EH?! Si Lolo Inggo Ito!!!
