亲历美国人的葬礼

上个星期老公的一个叔叔突然去世,我们于是驱车到印第安纳州去参加葬礼。走之前朋友打电话还说你又去一个新的州了,多拍点照片吧,我带上了相机,谁 知路上就拍了一张,在整个葬礼中也没有人在拍照,于是我也不敢拍,习俗,别惹麻烦了,我那么显眼,别让人说俺们中国人不懂礼貌。
这边葬礼的习俗是分两天,头天傍晚,大家都去到叫做Funeral home的一个地方,必须要着正装,男士都要西装领带皮鞋,我也穿的跟上班似的。我们到的时候已经差不多快五点了,一进去要看到好多人在屋子里聚堆儿说 话,屋子的尽头,摆着盛放着遗体的棺材。互相认识的人聊聊天,我们也是先和他许久不见的家人聊聊天,然后排着队去慰问遗孀。这个叔叔我也就在婚礼上见过一 次,唯一的一次,老头儿体型很好,难得的不大肚子的美国人,看上去非常健硕,正如人们说的,身体越是好的人,生起病来越是可怕。
第二天,天气阴霾,淅淅沥沥的下着小雨,仿佛配合这葬礼。还是正装,还不能是昨天那套,所有的人都去到叔叔生前非常活跃的教堂,正式的告别在那里举 行。牧师主持,聊到了他生前是如何无私如何活跃在社区,接着亲戚朋友也有的发言来说说他生前感人的事情,如何令人怀念。结束后所有的人驱车前往墓地,棺木 被抬上一辆专用车,黑色葬礼专用,然后大家跟着头车,家人、亲戚、朋友组成车队,每个车上插着一面小旗子。这里说一个风俗,有葬礼的需求,人们就打电话给 专门的警察部门,据说是有部门专门负责这个,他们的任务是在有葬礼的时候保证车葬礼队不间断的行进,我看到一辆警车在我们经过的时候,横在路边,禁止另一 个方向的车横插进来,等全部车队通过后,警车又跑到前面的路口拦着别的车,且葬礼车队是可以闯红灯的。我们行进的时候,我看到大部分对面方向开来的车都在 遇到头车后靠右停到路边,表示尊敬,其实即便他开过去也不影响我们,但他们还是都停下来。
到了墓地,雨中大家聚集到指定地点,棺木放在一个支架上,上面铺着一面国旗,因他叔叔生前曾经在部队服役,有两个军人按照一个仪式将国旗叠成指定形 状,交给遗孀手里,并说了些代表美国军队感谢之类的话,曾经是军人的人去世都有这待遇。这位叔叔并不进行火葬,因此我估计就那么长埋地下了,但我最后也没 有看到是如何把棺材放下去的。
第一次看到美国人葬礼了,觉得不一样,就记录下来,过程中我也难过,想自己将来若就这么终老在这,能有几个人来看我呢?
