Famous quotes containing the word funeral:

    You scour the Bowery, ransack the Bronx,
    Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.
    From river to river you comb the town
    For a place to lay your family down.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Up, black, striped and damasked like the chasuble
    At a funeral mass, the skunk’s tail
    Paraded the skunk.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
