I've been to a shit-pot of funerals--mostly sad, some funny and some downright weird.

But, your right, most of the time you go to funerals you do it for someone besides the deceased--and not to sound like Martha Stewart, but that's a good thing.

Some of the ones I've been to:

Family member--church overflowing.
Family member--2 other people attending,
Other family member--many people, most came to be sure that the deceased was dead.
Grandfather's funeral--hand coming out of ground (his first wife's) to grab the ankle of his current wife.

If you like movie funerals--be sure and watch "Charade", and "The Loved One".
