Funerals aren't for the dead but for the living. Once you're dead, you're dead and your fate is sealed. A funeral is for the living to help them come to terms with you being gone. If they want a funeral, let them have it if it helps them adjust.
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell
It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
