Baby Booming Boredoms
Posted by Raven on July 21st, 2006
Is it about being in control? Maybe. It’s certainly about being immature. This generation- the so called baby boomers- is populated with attention seeking dulldrums who have nothing better to do with themselves while they are alive. So they have to make their deaths a “party” as well.
At a time when Americans hire coaches to guide their careers and retirements, tutors for their children, personal shoppers for their wardrobes, trainers for their abs, whisperers for their pets and — oh, yes — wedding planners for their nuptials, it makes sense that some funerals are also starting to benefit from the personal touch. As members of the baby boom generation plan final services for their parents or themselves, they bring new consumer expectations and fewer attachments to churches, traditions or organ music — forcing funeral directors to be more like party planners, and inviting some party planners to test the farewell waters.
YAWN.
