How about ghetto Bar/Bat Mitzvahs? A girl I knew had hers in a church.

I've never been to a funeral recpetion. Now, I've been to gatherings where they served food after funerals. I wouldn't call that a "reception" though. Is this what she's talking about?

My father's aunt died. Well she was not a very well off women so her brother had to bury her. So we go to the church and her best friend who grew up with her is a minister (they told me he was, but I still do not believe it). So he get up and starts preaching about there child hood etc. Then he goes on saying to the people in attendance:

*you know she never was married and had all her children out of wedlock
*You know all her children had different daddies
*you know all her children have never been married
*you know all her grandchild have been born out of wedlock
*you know she was ugly

So I was finished after that. I know my dad's aunt was not the perfect person, but she always made sure that the family stayed in touch with each other and I really loved her for that.
