[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 123005, member: 3626"] Personally, I'm with your husband. I don't want a funeral -- it's just not worth the expense. What I do want is a gathering of my friends and family after I am cremated. I want them to remember me, the good and the bad. More importantly, I want them to celebrate my life, not mourn my death. If my daughter feels the need for a service to say good-bye, I hope she do it privately. If she can't then she can do as she needs. My wishes are that she find comfort no matter what that means. However, I wouldn't speak for your daughters. I think they have a right to know their father's wishes and decide what is right for him and them. It doesn't have to be today or tomorrow but as they mature and everyone feels they can make mature decisions. If you need the services for yourself, then that should be factored into any decision. Death is not an easy subject but an important one. It is good that your husband spoke his wishes. [/QUOTE]
