When did funerals start to have receptions?

[concise]

Man, I remember as a little kid, we used to go to funerals and go right back home. But somewhere along the way, I think like the last 6 or 7, there's been some kind of fancy reception with lots of plates of food and all that.

Why? I always felt weird watching that casket getting buried and then going in the car to like it's all good. I know it's not good to be driving with tears in your eyes, but I think this goes way too far in the other direction. What do y'all think?

I have never been to a funeral that never had a gathering when it was done.After the funeral is when the weed and liquor comes out.Then the bad bytches you never met who aren't related to you.
