In my opinion there isn't a purpose. Some say it is for closure, to let go. I say it's morbid and the memory of a loved one laying there dead is not the last one I want to have of them. So I don't go to them anymore. I will go to a celebration or memorial service, but not a funeral. I didn't go to several family member's funerals and I was better off for it. My last memories of them are joyful. I wish I could erase the memories of the funerals that I did attened. They are morbid and make the greif much worse in my opinion. I won't be having one.

Re-arrange the letters in "funeral" and you get "real fun". Dying is "real" - but it takes all of the "fun" out of it. Funerals are the last opportunity for friends and family to see the deceased before they become nothing but a memory. Say your goodbyes, leave little momentos (take little momentos like the 3-carat diamond ring he's wearing on his pinky), and bring a covered dish for dinner at Aunt Maud's house afterward (if you're Baptist), or set your sights on the nearest Chinese buffet if you're not. Talk about all the things you'll miss about the deceased until the discussion changes to one about how much money he owed you that you'll never see again. By now, everyone should be fighting over who gets his pickup truck and who gets his mobile home...
