Standing around a gravehole

[touchingcloth]

This trope from funerals in films and telly...does it ever happen at actual funerals? I've only ever been to cremations.

Maybe just an American thing?

Is it a catholic thing or are they protestant services in the film, its always a priest isnt it?

Always a priest giving it the ashes to ashes bit.

Did it with wife's granny and step father, both of them american though.

Open caskets seem more popular stateside. Nearly every dead cunt in six feet under had one.
