Joan Crawford’s nurses were praying at her bedside as she lay dying. She said, “damn it! Don’t you dare ask God to help me!” Those were her last words.
I love her for that.
See, your problem there is having people at your funeral. I’m so lonely, no one’s even going to notice when I’ve died! Ha! Take that!
There’s hopefully plenty of time between now and then for that to change, friend!

Funerals are for the people close to the person who has passed. It’s to help cope with grief, and accepting that the person they knew is gone.
For many it is helpful, but maybe not everyone grieves in the same way, and that’s ok too.

Sure, the modern Western culture of funerals might not be so great, especially the open casket stuff.
But saying goodbye and maybe having a party with your still living closest ones, can be helpful for many. It’s very much a “life goes on” situation.

The high price is very much an exploitation of people’s grief for profit. Using their emotional connection to argue that they “should” pay a lot. It sucks real bad.
For my mother we didn’t really have a funeral. The funeral home did the generic stuff and dressed her in just her own regular nice clothes and the family members who wanted to see her just went into a room she was in. It was like a day or two after she had died while we still had to do the paperwork and then we had her cremated. I don’t think funerals, especially open casket and the whole carrying the casket thing is really that common anymore
