I've never seen it happen. Must be attending the wrong funerals.

I remember some random guy who was at my grandpa's funeral fainting. No one knew who he was he just was there. This actually happened at the wake too. I had to help cary the guy at the wake out. Speculation (and smell) says the guy **** his pants too that is if that wasnt the cause of his "fainting."

I find fainting in general to be very strange. The only times it has happened to me was when my body was severely overheated and a bit dehydrated after spending too long in the desert and one other time when I took a hard hit to the head while playing football. Each time I quickly recovered awareness. I can't imagine fainting without some kind of external physical influence, fainting because of your emotions seems impossible in my experience.

Yeah but when has it truly been voluntarily? People are finding it rude as if fainting is a voluntarily action? Purposefully becoming dehyrdated? I really don't think they have intentions of fainting. It is rude to have bad table manners and people exhibit those lack of manners by rebelling what they were taught or having been taught nothing. I can't imagine people fainting to cause a ruckus. Maybe the concept of death hit that random guy hard and out of emotional bombardment came his fainting incident. Who knows. I wouldn't be so cruel though as to look at him from my spot in the church and say "How rude...".

In some cultures, fainting, screaming, moaning is expected. In China for example, some families hire professional cryers during funerals. In Latin cultures, if none of the immediate family cries or faints during a funeral, it would be suspect. Not everyone live like the Windsors during Princess Diana's funeral.

Unless people are faking it, this is a pretty ridiculous thread. I'd kind of be honored if someone was sufficiently overcome to faint at my funeral.

I fainted several times in the days following the death of someone very close to me. If you don't value family or human life, I see how it can be rude. If you have any basic level of decency and understanding, it would be easy to see that it's completely uncontrollable and requires sympathy, not disdain.
