We didn't see eye to eye. But I don't see the point of funerals anyway, I have been to very few in my life, and if I can help it won't go to anymore.

Lots of people don't see eye to eye with their parents but they get over it.

It has to be more than that to create such an uncaring attitude!!

My attitude wasn't uncaring, she got a call every week, even though I got earache, and my siblings and I ensured she had the best of care home. As I said I really don't see the point of funerals.

You don't have to have a funeral. A friend of mine died 2 years ago and had made his wishes clear that he didn't want a funeral. When he died he was taken from the hospital by the funeral director then to be cremated.

I have pre-paid my direct cremation.

Just wondering if you can be sure your final wishes will be carried out Tara. Your daughter is a vicar is she not? She may want to officiate at your funeral service. Of course you will not know anything about it when the time comes.

She wouldn't go against the wishes of my husband and myself.

Re: Is It So Wrong Not To Attend A Sister's Funeral?

I too am considering No Funeral. The thought of all those sobbing people half of whom I bet I'd hardly knew.

I'd rather see the people I care about whilst I'm still living.
