[quote=Anonymous]Plenty of people do not have funerals. My best friend's parents died in their 90s after several declining years. Both were cremated. They were not super wealthy but fairly wealthy. Most of their own friends and generation had died previously. There were several siblings, one living in Europe, otherwise on both coasts, grandchildren here and there, and they got together about a year after the second one died.

By comparison, the last funeral I went to was for an older cousin (in her mid 70s). She had lived in the same community for 60 years, she had been active in her church for 40 years, she had two kids living in the same state along with cousins and their kids who knew her. She had retired just a few years before from a local TV station and many of her coworkers showed up. I've also been to some funerals in the small town where I grew up (about 6 hours drive away) and there are tons of people I'm not in touch with but certainly remember and appreciate reconnecting with.
