A lifelong friend of mine passed before her time; breast cancer.
She was cremated in accordance with her wishes but no service for six months. Then there was a gathering, but it was more a celebration of a life than sad.
Her daughter gave out portions of her mom's ashes to those that requested to scatter them in beautiful places.
I left some in Costa Rica, and some high up on the Mescalero Res, and some again at a State Park she had loved in NY State.
Anyhow, that's the best funeral I've had experience with.
Cremation for myself, folks can do what they want after that.
