I've also been to a fair few, my family members have a habit of either dying too young or too old. No inbetweens. As for the funeral itself, I find them rather contradictory, as we sit through being told that they now have eternal life in heaven, but yet we ball our eyes out anyway.
Still, I'd want everyone at my funeral to ball their eyes out at such a great loss to humanity.
However, I mostly look forward to the wake. Coming from a predominantly Irish background has it's perks, and the wakes are always drunken. Depressing, or not.
