I hate funerals. Obviously, nobody "likes" funerals and people dying usually sucks, but just like, the concept of them in general. Why do we have them? The dead person obviously doesn't care. Nobody ever wants to be there. Not the grieving relatives, not the guests. It's just a shitty, uncomfortable situation for every person involved, asides from the people in the funeral industry laughing all the way to the bank. You spend thousands of dollars for this big spectacle that nobody fucking wants. So why even do it? Just because "that's what you do"? Am I just insensitive?
It's part of why I dread dealing with anyone close to me dying. If my father passed tomorrow, all it would do is cause a huge argument between me, my sister, and my aunts\uncles, because my stance would just be "Who the fuck cares? Have him cremated, spread the ashes somewhere if you want. All us close relatives can go out for dinner to remember him or some shit."
That's pretty much what I've told my wife. If I die, I don't want a funeral. Please don't fucking waste a shit ton of money on one. I'd legit be more happy if they threw my body in a dumpster behind Wendy's vs. having a funeral.
I’m with ya.
I don’t understand making people feel bad for not going to funerals also. If people don’t want to go that’s their choice.
