When you attend a funeral
It is sad to think that sooner ooooo
oooor later Those you love will do the same for you,
And you may have thought it tragic
Not to mention other adjec-
Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do —
Tom Lehrer, "We Will All Go Together When We Go"
Tropes dealing with funerals and all ritualized commemoration of the dead.
