I've been to one service/funeral for my grandpa, and then one service for a teacher. Going to my grandpa's was terrible- I left school halfway through on a wednesday (Valentine's Day last year, at that) to go and see him before he died. It was horribly cold, a 45 minutes car ride from his church to his hometown cemetary. Having to stay at his house with my grandma and my parents was the worst part. It wouldn't of been so bad if it weren't for the constant rotation of relatives coming in and out, which just refreshed the sensation over and over again.
It'd be nice to be able to avoid funerals and arrangements and services and all other things related. But then you look inconsiderate and apathetic. So there's no real way to win.
