“Well, the relations they wanted a big funeral, but corpse said he was down on flummery—didn’t want any procession—fill the hearse full of mourners, and get out a stern line and tow him behind. 去书内

    A big funeral does nothing good to corpse  but to Satisfy the vanity of the relations.

    This is yet another example of the corpse being indifferent to vain glory and pomp.

    It is irony for the big and so-called grand funeral but just like a tail wagging the dog

    What the relations and friends want and what the corpse want is a sharp contrast.The relations and friends should felt shameful of their vanity.We should pay more attention to keeping a more positive attitude rather than chasing for fame and wealth.

    Here the author praises character of the corpses, which contrasts with his family. The corpse doesn't need anything at all, that's why his family's behavior let people me disunderstand. Mark Twain praises the character of the corpse in the paragraph.

    What a dead man needs in reality.It is nothing.But people alive think he needs so many things.When someone died,he can not take anything.However,people alive seem to try their best to make him feel so called "comfortable".It is people's selfishness and vain that make this ridiculous situations.
