I haven’t been to as many funerals as you have, but several course family members have died.

I hate funerals.

The best funeral I’ve ever been to wasn’t a funeral. Instead, the family got together at the daughter’s house and just visited for a few days. Then next spring, on what would have been their birthday, everyone gathered to memorialize them, and spread their ashes.

That was a much nicer way of handling it, in my opinion.
