I mean, their deaths happen only once.
Any death only happens once, but death is suppose to bring you down to the normal human level that we can all associate with.

Even the TV guide channel, while showing bits of the funeral talked about that there were even seat fillers like they have at the oscars or emmy's for people who couldn't make it, and that this was a very entertainment based event.
Etertainment event shouldn't be something to discribe a funeral.
I don't quite agree with that philosophy. Why mourn their deaths when you can celebrate their lives? A cheery, upbeat funeral is a far superior option to me. I know I won't want a mass gathering after my death just so people can cry. Feeling sad would be inevitable, but I'd much rather the focus be on the positive.

That being said, they charged people to see the funeral? REally? I can't help but wonder if they charged family too?
