I've only been to one funeral in my life and I didn't go with the family and
other friends afterwards so I don't know if they served a "dead spread" or
not. The deceased was a friend from high school who had only graduated the
month before. I've never been to another funeral since. Not everyone goes
to funerals. I won't again unless it's immediate family.
