Funerals are sad occasions but some people decide to turn them into joyful celebrations of the dead person's life.
traditional funeral – in church, people dressed in black, all very quiet…
*****************************************************************
Shonnie Sullivan here in the UK talking about the fancy dress funeral she and her sister organized for their mother.
Shonnie: It was quite unusual as we turned up in fancy dress.
Interviewer: Had your mum left instructions about how she wanted her funeral to be?
Shonnie:Only that we don't cry, and we… to have a party to celebrate her life. Be happy, don't be sad… I was a witch.
Interviewer: How did you look?
Shonnie: Oh, it was just a little black dress and I just had, like, a little fancy witch hat on – the same as my sister. And we had a very close friend of the family come as Beetlejuice – which was absolutely amazing. He really did go all out for that.
Shonnie and her sister chose a Halloween theme for the funeral and wore witches' costumes – little black dresses with special hats.
A close family relative dressed as Beetlejuice … Did he dress as a squashed insect, Neil? I'm confused here!
He dressed as Beetlejuice, the main character in a popular 1980s movie. Beetlejuice is a ghost who wears crazy clothes, and has scary hair and make up.
오늘의 주제는 장례식에 대한것인데
어두운 주제라는 생각이 있었는데 스크립트를 읽고나니 여러가지 생각이듭니다.
우리나라의 장례문화는 매우 엄숙하고 경건합니다.
장례식장에서 웃는다는것은 예의에 어긋난다고 여겨집니다.
그러나 위의 대화내용을 보니 돌아가신 분의 뜻에 따라 장례식을 행하는 것도 매우 의미가 있어보입니다.
돌아가신분을 기리는 제사라는 문화도 시대에 따라 많이 변화하고 있습니다.
자정에 시행하던것을 초저녁으로 앞당기고
제사상에 올라가는 음식도 전통음식에서 생전에 고인이 좋아하셨던 현대 음식을 올리기도 합니다.
이렇듯이 장례문화도 또한 시대의 변화에 따라 많이 변해가고 있는 듯 합니다.
