Clapping after eulogies is OK?

Generally social etiquette requires those present at funeral ceremonies not to indulge in clapping or in any other display of joy. However, at LKY's funeral ceremony, there was clapping from all the invitees after each speaker had delivered his/her eulogy. Those westerners who had watched the ceremony would be having a good laugh at our "first world" manners.

Maybe some of them were genuinely joyful and couldn't hide it.

And you know Sinkies: see one person clap/queue, therefore die die must follow. :biggrin:

they were claps of relief after grueling boring long-winded speeches. louder the claps longer and more boring the eulogy.
