Apples to oranges.
Deciding to attend a funeral has nothing to do with the funeral itself and how it is put together.
Hopefully the family follows the deceased's wishes. Relatives and friends can then decide on their own whether they will attend the funeral the deceased wished for.
Of course, if the deceased wished for an expensive funeral, they should make sure they leave enough funds. If there are not enough funds, the family should get as close as possible.
If someone wants to do something to assuage their own grief, fine, but do it on their own. As for me, don't involve my body. I can't stop anyone from having their own service or get together, but I can make sure my body is not involved. I am really liking the idea of donating my body to science. Since our whole family are scientists, I think my immediate family would be on board. I can do a last bit of good. Need to go explore that avenue further.
Both of my parents had pre arranged to donate their bodies to science.
However, I do want to add and suggest to when looking into donating if there are any things that may disqualify the body and then you have to have a back up, cremation, body farm etc
