The late man made it clear that he did not want any food or refreshments served at his funeral. Instead, his last wishes were that after his burial at the cemetery, everyone would depart from the occasion and return home.

Some people thought the man's last wishes were reasonable, while others shared different perspectives. People debated whether the man was justified in his request.

@Sedeaux_S commented:

"Mind you, serving food after the funeral is an appreciation from the bereaved to those who have taken time to show up from near and far.."

@LoooongTong shared:

"That's how we do it, even at my home. And the coffin must be the cheapest of them all. No cooking. No juices or any food whatsoever. From the cemetery, go back to your home."
