This week-long funeral is ridiculous.
When he died a week ago, that already took over the news cycle for 48 hours.
Now we have a weeklong casket tour.

To paraphrase Andrew Cuomo. He was never that great....

And thousands of US citizens were not allowed to visit dying relatives or be present at a funeral!

Who holds the record for the worlds longest lasting funeral? James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houstons’ funerals went on for days and days. The eulogies and music goes on and on and on and on. Catholic funerals last about 45 minutes no matter who you are.

And seems each time I change channels, they say how Lewis walked across the bridge in Selma, how he has been beaten up, put in jail........

He’s done more traveling this week as a dead person than I have in a few years as a live person

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I would imagine he is getting pretty ripe about now.

My brother in-law died and he was not allowed a funeral. We had a burial and were limited to 10 people. He was not embalmed.

It's disgraceful that they give themselves massive state funerals while regular citizens had to endure loved ones dying alone and then not being able to get any sort of proper closure, all while insisting that we must still live under their boots.

Sick of seeing it too. When the horse was drawing the carriage with his casket I was hoping someone had fed the horse beefarino.

This week-long funeral is ridiculous.

and whatever happened with the "importance" of social distancing at his packed funeral?

Most other humans are not even being allowed to have even a small funeral in many places, yet this packed funeral is allowed?
