At my father in law's funeral, my sister in law sang "the greatest man I never knew". I was slightly appalled that you would sing a song about never really knowing your father because he wasn't around, at his funeral. I didn't say anything, but my wife sure did.

I am of the opinion that funerals shouldn't be such a Solum occasion, I think those Europeans have the right idea. Now, having said that I understand that everybody grieves in their own way. But, I know that if I died and managed to be able to retain my personality some way I wouldn't want to see a sad dull crowd. I would want everybody to celebrate my life, not mourn my death. Go ahead play Stairway to Heaven, play Lake of Fire, I'de get a kick out of it! I've been to a funeral where everybody I met was "sorry for my loss." and I was surprised how empty that made me feel; I only wish that someone could have been there with something lite and happier. But, I don't know, maybe I'm a special case and most don't see things the same way, but I don't see why funerals can't be celebratory.
