G'day Dirty Ninja, Thank you for your question. I would generally think it was inappropriate. Surely, it can wait until the end of the ceremony. Regards
-
I would want to know what kind of service the deceased has in the casket.
-
I would think their parents didn't raise them right...what a shame.
-
if it was the corpse, I would be surprised. If not, I wouldn't be so surprised. People are idiots over that techie crap. Yes, I email and go online a lot, but some people have no shame. Ex girlfriend in the middle of an expensive dinner at a restaurant?? responding to my verbal questions with absent minded 'yeah, umm hmm, yep..." not even listening to what I say...while she's tapping away at the damn phone.

"Put that bloody thing away before i bury it with that guy"
-
Couldn't that wait just a little bit?
-
That is so tacky. How incredibly rude. I'd come back to life just to tell the person off about texting at my burial. What is wrong with people?
-
I'd think that the textee thinks they are pretty damn important. Much more important than I think they are. How crass!
-
Insensitive, selfish, dumb, offensive,
-
I wonder if she texted them back,"Not now, I'm at a funeral service.!" ;) She should have just turned off the phone or put it on silent mode. Maybe next time she'll think about it.
-
That God is real and has text messaging? I mean who else would be important enough to respond to during a funeral?
-
depends on the message - could be a parents babysitter with an emergency... a living kid is more important than a dead person, in most cases... Rather they text a response, than answer a ringing phone... that *can* be discreet.
-
Absent an emergency. I'd think and do think it is damn rude and disrespectful. The Cell should be turned off during burial. It shows serious disrespect for the dead.
-
I don't think the world will end if you are not available to the outside world for the length of time it would take to show respect at a funeral! :(
