Kerala Family Smiles & Poses For A Group Photo At The Funeral Of 95-YO Granny, Desis Confused

Last time I checked, a funeral was considered to be a sad affair where people were remorseful for the departed soul. However, in a picture that has gone viral, people were all smiles!

According to India Today, a 95-year-old Christian woman from Kerala named Mariyamma passed away recently. Her death brought the entire family together.

As most members of the family lived abroad, Mariyamma’s funeral was an opportunity for them to take a smiling family photo. And so they did, gathering around the casket where the mortal remains of the elderly woman lay.

However, the picture left several people online scratching their heads. They asked, why would anyone be smiling and clicking family pictures around someone who passed away? A few others were more understanding of the situation. Have a look:

Isn’t it good to bid goodbye to a departed soul with smiling faces?
