[quote=Anonymous]My family is absolutely opposite.

We are very close knit family and we are there for each other (parents, ILs, Siblings, nieces, nephews, uncles-aunty, grandparents).  Our motto is to help each other become successful in life, take care of children and elderly and be a support net for each other. However, our funerals are simple and straight-forward, with minimal fuss.  No elaborate memorial service, just a simple cremation and that's that.  Of course, we do follow the customs and rituals of our religion and then everything is over.

What we actually do very well is support the survivors to the full extent,  do all the running around necessary (paperwork, selling of the house, consolidating stuff, making arrangements for survivors, distributing responsibility for taking care of elderly, children, pets, emotional-psychological support for survivors for few years for all the anniversaries and significant dates, daily calls etc) to close the last chapter of life of the deceased.

We also don't throw a memorial feast that is normal for our culture after the funeral and for a few more years after that. We just give the money to our local orphanage and sponsor a meal for the residents in the memory of the deceased person.

I would want the same thing. Go with minimal fuss.  Perhaps I am also a person who has a small impact and I am really a-ok with my very average life. [/quote]
