A funeral is no place for secrets.

I have seen many a face that was more good-looking — never one that looked half so good.

If anyone at my funeral has a long face, I'll never speak to him again

There are people whose faces assume an unaccustomed beauty and majesty the moment they cease to look out of their eyes.

The fairest face of all is the face I have not seen.

No one ever comes back from the dead., no one ever enters the world without weeping; no one is ever asked when he wishes to enter life, no one is ever asked when he wishes to leave.

Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours.

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

Janie starched and ironed her face and came set in the funeral behind her veil. It was like a wall of stone and steel. The funeral was going on outside. All things concerning death and burial were said and done. Finish. End. Never-more. Darkness. Deep hole. Dissolution. Eternity. Weeping and wailing outside. Inside the expensive black folds were resurrection and life.

You should always go to other people funerals, or they wont go to yours.

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

The friendship of high and sanctified spirits loses nothing by death but its alloy; failings disappear, and the virtues of those whose faces we shall behold no more appear greater and more sacred when beheld through the shades of the sepulchre.

I hope that nobody has ever had to look at anybody they love through glass.

Never would forever, with all its meanings, be so clear and distinct as in the true, guaranteed end of the world.
