want a funeral, because too many people don’t dress up to show proper respect at funerals recently. He doesn’t want someon at his funeral in jeans or khakis, so he doesn’t want a funeral.
A neighbor died during COVID, but from a cancer relapse. Tore the family apart that medical professionals and husband would only allow 1 or 2 at a time to visit her. Didn’t have a funeral, because it caused literal fights and I don’t think the husband talks to or interacts with that part of the family 4 1/2 years later.
Lots of reasons for not having funerals, I guess.
