Luke8:54

He put them all out - That is, the pipers and those who made a noise, weeping and lamenting. See Mat 9:23; Mar 5:38. Pompous funeral ceremonies are ridiculous in themselves, and entirely opposed to the spirit and simplicity of the religion of Christ. Every where they meet with his disapprobation.
