I don't attend funerals, myself. Too late to honor the dead, who should have been honored while living. No funerals for my parents, either. It's a ritual of shared suffering, which truly doesn't help anyone. A funeral doesn't offer closure, either. Get up, get dressed, cry in public, speak as though the dead person is in a better place. Such bs. I loved my fam mbers dearly when alive & miss them every time I dream or think of them. Nobody can fix that w a ritual based in religion.
