At funerals it's always "he was such a nice person" even if he once kicked your dog or something...

Thats true. And here's a song by an Aussie mob to prove your point. It caused a real ruckus when they did this.

I don't get it either. I've known horrible people who passed away and nobody remembered what terrible things that person did to them when they were alive. Maybe it's because people don't want bad things said about THEM when they're gone, although not being nasty when they're alive would be a good start!

Cause when someone dies they can´t hurt/touch/influence anyone. They are "safe" so whatever you say won´t hurt you. Plus if there´s an afterlife, who knows they might hear you and "think" that you are a nice person! lol

Because people do not want to be the first person to point out what they disliked about that person and have everyone judge them for it.

It's considered bad luck to speak ill of the dead at their funeral.

Because we have fond memories that fill our minds and are full of forgivenss to that person.

I call it "Hipocrisy". There is plenty of it in funerals and weddings.

Probably trying to be "politically correct"?
