My Great Grandmother's Funeral

On Tuesday I went to my Papa’s Mums funeral.  We had to go to the Papatoetoe  Cemetery.  Once  we entered we went to the chapel and near that place there was church.  We went in the church.  We had to sit next to the coffin.  It was scary.   After that the man said a Samoan speech.  It took awhile.   Next was my papas brothers turn to say a speech.  Next I said a speech I was shy to say it.  After that we sang a song.  We sang a few songs.  Then we went to take the coffin to its spot.  Finally we were at the spot.  The hole was 6 feet down and it was long.   After that we sang another song.   Everyone was crying loud.  Next all the brothers put the coffin in the ground and all the sisters were crying.   After that I went to see my Grandpa but just to let you know he’s dead. I was singing songs to him.  I started to cry.   Next we went to Valentines. Once we entered  there was food everywhere, yummy food.   There was chicken,beef,potatoes,steak and fish.  For desert there was chocolate,cake,ice cream,fudge cakes,coconuts and fruit salad there was yummy food.  That was the best feed ever.
