What are some cultures that celebrate death?

Goth and Death Metal

I don't celebrate anyone's death, but I don't mourn for all,either In this case, I expect nothing more from my government, and I'm sure bin Laden expected them to hunt him down, too. What I find most disturbing, is how many people are using this as a means to an end: degrading a hated president because he's black. No one questioned the death of Uday Hussein, so why this? Why question our culture for this killing and targeted assassination and not others under Bush? Racism, hatred and intolerance are what's tearing our country apart, and the commitment to party line rather than principles.

Some Christian Churches have what is called a Homegoing Celebration.. Though people are mourning there are also people celebrating the persons life and the belief that this person is going on to heaven.
