Funerals are wasted on the dead

Just as youth is wasted on the young, and unlimited sex is wasted on the married, I believe that funerals are wasted on the dead. Just wait till you die, then you'll see what people really think of you.It's one of the thoughts that always makes me sad at funerals; besides the observation that the person will never play the piano again, it's a tragedy that nobody ever gets to hear what it is that the world will really miss the most about them.
