Other than annoying the living, that is?
I have specifcally put in my will that I do not want a funeral of any sort.
Hell, just dump my body in someone’s backyard when they’re not looking.

Some people grieve differently and it is a closure thing.

Granted, but is it necessary to draw non-consenting parties into the fray? I don’t even remember meeting the deceased a quarter century ago. It was like one minute at our wedding. It’s not like my wife spoke to her more than twice in all that time, either.

I’m not saying your wrong, I was just playing devil’s advocate.

Some of my relatives opted to just be put on a memorial wall, instead of a burial. I think it’s nice to have something to remember them by that’s in the community.

Different people will respond to grief in different ways. For the surviving family, it can be comforting to see people show up, and realize that their loved one had such an impact on the world around them. When that is not actually the case, some people show up anyways to give the family a polite bit of fiction that the deceased mattered a lot to them. It is not always possible to predict in advance what the turnout will be, so people will default to going, just in case.

I’ve been to 1 funeral and it was a horrible experience.
I really don’t want to go to another one in my life.

I think in my will it will just say no funeral. But my request is for you to go for a walk and appreciate nature and have a laugh.
Funerals tend to be a sad time. They call it a celebration of life but the whole arrangement is sad.

@Mars @Moonbeam I just realized if my husband goes first I’ll probably have no one to take care of my cremation

You can get a will to determine what to do.

@Mars what’s the use of a will if you know no one… Sigh… I don’t have any other family that would be around that time that I trust to get what’s needed done

I have no clue how I’d like to be dealt with.
It’s a personal challenging decision for me.
Regarding going to funerals, it’s something I’ve never done b4 so idk how I would feel.
Maybe, it depends on whose funeral it was, too.
