Most probably.
There are two kinds of funerals.
Sober sedate affairs where we stand around making small talk and toasting the dead with mournful faces, or..........
A full blown celebration of the dear departeds life.
Although i've been to a good few of the first type of funeral, and think they do have their place as a respectful memorial of remembrance, I believe the second type is better all round.
There is enough sadness to the day as it is, so we might as well have a party and send the deceased on their way in a way befitting everything they mean to us.
We'll drink, we'll sing, we'll tell stories, we'll drink, we'll drink again, we'll sing a bit more, then (just for a change) we'll have a drink.
Come to think of it, I think we try to give the kind of funeral we ourselves would like to have when it's our turn.
My Great Aunties funeral was legend.
I played a 13 hour gig for that one.
It's not for everyone, but I find it works for us
