Another finality of funerals

At a funeral, we say goodbye to a loved one. It is the final goodbye; there will be no renewal of the acquaintance here upon earth. However, sometimes at funerals there is more finality than we might realize. There we will see cousins or other relatives, and it will be the case that that will be the last time we will see them on earth. Perhaps they live at a distance, and only came home to see their immediate family, and now that the family is gone, there is no more reason for them to return. Funerals are sad times for more reasons than one.
