Answer Details
The statement "Follow me and leave the dead to bury the dead" implies that Jesus placed more emphasis on following him and spreading his teachings to others, rather than focusing on traditional cultural practices such as burying the dead. He wanted his followers to prioritize their commitment to him and his teachings over other responsibilities and cultural practices, even ones that were considered very important like burying the dead. It does not mean that Jesus opposed burial of the dead, was beside himself, was acting as a fanatic, or regarded as dead anybody who rejects him.
