Never The Funeral, Always The Wake

"Also turns out they were related (what’re the odds at the funeral of a relative? )."

"Distant enough they would never see each other again (different branches of her family), close enough that their family photo albums have overlapping people."- ESQBOJaguar

If You Really Think About It...

"Biologically speaking mourning/death triggers mating instincts as though that death tells the lizard brain in us that we need to procreate because death is scary."

"Scum'ically speaking, funerals typically leave people especially women in a state of fragility that leaves them vulnerable to suggestion and coercion."

"Socially speaking, some people, both men and women, seek comfort and company after/during a mourning period and when two people engage in comforting each other emotionally through a death it can trigger chemicals in the brain that cause the idea of connection or chemistry which can inevitably lead to copulation."- KURO-K1SH1

Better Safe Than Sorry!

"The thing costs less than a dollar, but if anything somehow would happen, not having it could cost you your healthiness or independence/freedom due to a child being your new responsibility."

"Unless you absolutely, 100% am sure you will not be having sex that day, and no one will be able to change your mind - carry a condom."

"And having visited a funeral is likely not impactful enough to everyone to make them absolutely sure of that."-deterministic_lynx

It Is, Indeed, A Source Of Comfort...

Not SPECIFICALLY Funerals...

No one should be judged if they happen to have a condom with them when attending a funeral.

After all, should the moment arise, better to be prepared and safe.

On the other hand, if any of these people are attending the funeral with the intention of "getting lucky", that's just... yeah...
