I actually have rarely heard that phrase (I feel so sorry for him/her.) at any funerals that I've gone to. Most of the people I grew up around are quite religious. In our religion we have a clear picture of what we imagine the afterlife to be. I'm sure it will be quite different than what we picture in our minds but the image that we usually hold in our mind is not a saddening image. Those that have gone on are in our vision happier. The sorrow that we feel is for those left behind. It is sad when you find someone who had ended their life before fate was free to decide the end for them. I think that the possibilities that were thrown away grieve us more than the actual loss of the person themselves at times. Maybe it's a warped way of thinking. Thta's how most funerals I've been to have seemed.
