The day I first participated in a funeral was very impressive for me. It all started on a warm day. My frends and I were exploring the forest when we stumbled apon a deer carcass. The carcass was half rotten with an arrow in its side. We rushed back to the classroom to inform our teacher about the deer. He said we would give it a funeral as a class, tomorrow.
       The next day, we spend the morning making little note for the deer. Then we went outsid and placed the notes on the deer. Our teacher brought matches to cremate the deer’s carcass. He lit the match and set the body aflame. We watched the body slowly burn to ashes. We went back to class. That dy was very memorial for me.
