    Jeepers, I was at a funeral recently where the death notice said you could tune into the church webcam for the funeral mass, thought that was bad enough :eek:

    Maybe it is for family member/members abroad who couldn't get home.

    Guys,

    Ease up. You don't know the circumstances, this is probably being streamed to friends and family that can't make (for one reason or another) it to the funeral.


    Give her the benefit of the doubt.

    RIP, sorry for your loss.

    Maybe it's narcissism of the lowest order.

    If it was just for family members / those abroad, surely OP shouldn't be able to see it?

    Ergo... attention seeking.

    As I tell the mother in law when she shushes the whole kitchen for the death notices, if you were that close, you'd be at the funeral, not hearing about it on the radio (or Facebook)

    I know churches where they have webcam and you can watch weddings, funerals and daily mass.
    I think a big deal is being made out of nothing.

    I think a person coming on to a forum to ask questions and mock a situation you haven't even tried to understand to be extremely weird. Not to mention watching it.

    FFS you don't even know the woman or the circumstances. You don't have to watch.

    Personally I steer clear of Facebook.

    Happy Christmas

    You don't really understand how the Facebook thing works.

    If I want to put something out there for a subset of my family and friends, I put it out there, Unless there's some reason for it to be private (eg reading my mother's will*), then I'm not going to bother my a** figuring out the settings to stop other people seeing it too. Especially if my mother died a couple of days ago and I'm, like, grief-stricken.

    If that offends your sensibilities, then maybe you need to step away from the computer and stick to IRL friends.





    * It's a made up example: my mother was dead before Facebook was even a thing.

    Just unfollow her posts and stop watching!
    You’re not being forced to watch the feed.

    Whatever it takes to get through such a difficult experience. So long as no close family are upset by it who cares! I would assume it's for the benefit of family abroad though.

    She and her family are likely to read this. They would find it upsetting. Nobody's business to comment.

    Posting this here is worse than you assume she is being. I just unfriend people I dislike personally.
