Funeral was different. First time I've ever been to one that wasn't religious in nature. My dad officiated, and he said he wasn't going to pretend that his mother had a faith that he was certain she didn't have.

Again, my condolences.
But, I have to ask, what did you all do/say at the funeral? And where was it?
I've been to a little memorial gathering in someone's backyard, but there was at least a rabbi there to say a word or two- although the departed wasn't Jewish. And, there were the Bride's aunt and uncle, who did not have funerals, but cocktail parties, with (and I am not making this up) their ashes in a martini shaker.
