Funerals?? I went to a funeral last night. The deceased was spiritual for sure, but not terribly religious, but the service was all about God and barely even mentioned the deceased. Of course, the main function of a funeral is to give the family solace, and I hope it did that, but I felt kind of gyped. I wanted to remember her, celebrate her life and who she was. So what do you want for your funeral? Or what do you not want for your funeral? Just wondering... mr. danger - they have green funerals now. You probably can get precisely what you want. :-) And I take your swat about "gypped." I know. sorry.

What is the social norm, regarding funerals for family members who aren't your direct family? Sorry if this is a tacky question, but i'm just wondering.

But would the boss be tolerant of taking off half a day (or even longer if they live in another state) just to attend an aunt or uncle or cousin's funeral? I have a feeling i would get "demerits" for that.

As a rule, you don't see this sort of joy at Christian funerals. Why not?
