Church Lady Funeral Food

The Sunday Challenge: The Food of the Dead.

This week's theme had me thinking of only one thing, funeral reception food. Usually there is the tiniest layer of filling in these tiny cut up (tuna in this case) sandwiches but I love them. I found these at a pot luck lunch this week but they represent what is typical at funerals and memorial services.

Great texture, close up, and angle. Novel take for the topic.

Looks yummy!
I only know from TV that family and friends of the deceased meet at home and bring a lot of food. Here it's customary that one meets in a restaurant after the funeral.

Hi Dida, the food brought to the family of the deceased is a way of helping the family, as there is so much to attend to with funeral preparations that not having to "fix" meals for themselves is one less thing they to have to worry about. Here after the funeral, folks may meet for a meal in one of the meeting rooms of the church, meet in a restaurant (as you mentioned), or gather at the family's home. :)

Many thanks for the explanation, Chris - always interesting to learn about the traditions in other countries!

That looks very good and "logical" funeral food. In Finland the habit usually is to serve some soup in funeral. Can't understand why...

Good composition =)
