[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me neither. Told my kids to do whatever they wanted. If a memorial service or a party makes them feel better go for it. But, don't feel obligated to do the traditional one. Just went through it for a parent and it just made the whole grieving process harder. People mean well but small talk at a funeral can be exhausting. I do have to admit - I like condolence cards especially those that share stories. [/quote] Was any of the small talk meaningful? My dad died when I was 26. He was a very introverted person who did not share his emotions. I still remember a work colleague coming up to me to tell me that I was "the apple of his eye." That is a priceless memory due to our relationship, and I never would have had that without a memorial service.[/quote]
