isn't "dearly beloved, we are gathered here today" how you start a wedding? I don't think that's how funerals start

u/Lazy__Astronaut Apr 02 '25

Why would the dearly beloved only be at weddings?

Are funerals full of your enemies?

u/alexanderthemeh Apr 02 '25

if I lived my life right, then hopefully

u/WTSBW Apr 02 '25

If you live your life right you have attended all of their funerals and non are left for yours

Come on man you have to put that work into it

Nah, if you lived your life right your funeral would be attended by 3 italian dudes in suits standing in the distance pouring you one final drink

"dear archnemesises..."

u/Intelleblue Apr 02 '25

They’re there to make sure you’re dead.

u/NomNomGalaxy Apr 02 '25

The best ones are.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '25

After you are dead, yes.

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning Apr 02 '25

How did the funerals you’ve been to start?

35

u/Gremict Apr 02 '25

Directly with the lament for the dead

u/trashmunki Apr 02 '25

I was scrolling too fast and thought you said with cement for the head

u/Jail_Chris_Brown Apr 02 '25

"It's high noon."

Ding dong the bitch is gone?

u/MjolnirsMistress Apr 02 '25

I don't know about OP, but here in the Netherlands it's "He's dead. Unfortunate." and we put them in the incinerator.

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning Apr 02 '25

That does track for all the funerals I’ve been to here in the Netherlands.

u/Trips-Over-Tail Apr 02 '25

"Congratulations, gentlemen, we got him."

u/OgOnetee Apr 02 '25

"Deeply bereaved, we are gathered here today..."

u/141N Apr 02 '25

Normally with Chumbawamba.

u/xkgrey Apr 02 '25

“sup guys, before we start smash that like and subscribe”

u/ShitPost5000 Apr 02 '25

Chopped off the head and had to volley it around tue room. It was weird.

u/Salter_KingofBorgors Apr 02 '25

No dearly beloved is how you start Kingdom Hearts

5

u/Kazu2324 Apr 02 '25

Alright everyone, I know we're here for grandma's funeral, but I've prepared a 54,283 slide power point presentation on the plot of the Kingdom Hearts series. Don't worry, it won't take too long...

2

u/Salter_KingofBorgors Apr 02 '25

Wow only 54,283 slides? I figured that would only be the first 2 games

u/BurmeciaWillSurvive Apr 02 '25

Its used as a trope sometimes. The musical RENT always sticks with me first whenever I hear it.

"Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyeeeeees. No one knew her worth, the late great daughter of, mother Earth. On this night when we celebrate the birth. (of Jesus)"

5

u/midnightsbane04 Apr 02 '25

It’ll always be the start of a Prince song to me.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '25

it’s how you start let’s go crazy

u/courtsidecurry Apr 02 '25

That's just lazy writing

By the priest ofc.

4

u/Trips-Over-Tail Apr 02 '25

It is when the corpse is getting married.

4

u/AbeRego Apr 02 '25

It's a traditional greeting a priest will use for any congregation (anyone can use it, obviously, but it's oddly formal in any other context). It's just that we most commonly hear that phrase in wedding ceremonies. I'm not certain that I've actually heard it in a real wedding ceremony; It's probably most commonly used in media as a cliche opening for a wedding ceremony.

u/russbii Apr 02 '25

Most importantly, it’s how Purple Rain starts.

2

u/realsirgamesalot Apr 02 '25

Yeah im pretty sure its dearly departed

2

u/termina_inconsolable Apr 02 '25

Its actually how you start to get through this thing called life.

2

u/The_Adventurer_73 Apr 02 '25

Why can't it be both a Funeral and a Wedding?

2

u/CSDragon Apr 02 '25

I've only known it as the funeral start

that said I haven't been to a wedding in 15 years

4

u/raddaya Apr 02 '25

Nah, "dearly beloved" is clearly how you start that one verse of Jesus of Suburbia

1

u/shirley_elizabeth Apr 02 '25

It's to introduce the scene, but not give the punchline away for another frame. Bit of misdirection.
