Because; I will not lie about my feelings for 'Aunt Martha' any more than I would the next individual.
Yea Tim, I wonder if my mom kicked the bucket tomorrow, would I go to her funeral? For my Granma, I flew from half a world away to show my respects; for my Granpo, I faced my mother for the last time so, I could touch his hand... For her however, I think I'll pass.
If my father died tomorrow...well, bluntly, I'd show up to piss in the casket.

RIP and I do mean Rest In Peace.
While he may not have had "popular" opinions, he did hold to those he had.

And I am with Timster in the funeral appearances. I avoid them as much as possible and prefer the memorial/party as they had for my cousin (who died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 48). I told my wife (and put it in writing) that I am to be creamated ASAP and then put my urn on the keg and let everyone drink up. And as a final parting shot, pour a beer in my urn (had to re-write a section of the will now that I am not drinking).
Many in AA say "at least I will die sober". Fuck that, if I have some terminal illness, I advise people to buy stock in Jack Daniels. Even my mom who was famous in AA circles in Nassau County got drunk on her last days. She said "morphine ain't got nothing on a good 'Manhattan'".
