[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband’s aunt didn’t have one for her husband when he passed, and honestly it felt like something was missing. I personally think that they are important. Cultures all over the world and throughout history have had rituals around death and grieving. I think it’s an important thing for humans to experience to help move through the grieving process. It’s harder now that so many people live far away from their loved ones though. And in general, I think Americans handle death and grieving poorly. So people skipping funerals is definitely something that happens. I don’t like it though. [/quote] Agreed. I think the move away from having funerals goes hand in hand with the American tendency to try to deny death. I think it'll be really interesting to see how this plays out as more Baby Boomers pass away.[/quote]
