"Man's last day must ever be awaited and none to be counted happy until his death, until his last funeral rites are paid."

I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.
