Funeral Etiquette: Then vs. Now - A Concersation Between Mother and Daughter
In this special mother–daughter episode, host Shaleka Smith sits down with her 19-year-old daughter for an honest, funny, and heartfelt conversation about funeral etiquette across generations.
From traditional black attire and quiet reverence to today’s bright colors, hashtags, and “celebrations of life,” they explore how customs have evolved — and what those changes say about the way we honor loss. Together, they unpack everything from church etiquette and sermons to social media, grief expression, and the growing gap between sacred traditions and modern trends.
It’s real talk about respect, remembrance, and the cultural shifts shaping how we say goodbye. One generation values solemnity, the other celebrates individuality — but both agree that love is at the center of it all.
🎧 Tune in for laughter, reflection, and a deeper understanding of how every generation grieves differently… but loves the same.
