6. I did the eulogy for my atheist dad in a church...
My mother is a fairly devout Episcopalian (if there is such a thing) and she insisted on a "cathedral" funeral ceremony, but NOT visitation or any of that rot. I quoted from Dickens and Seneca. I spoke of his life on earth, and so did my brothers. The religious ceremony definately took second place to the straightforward honoring of the man who made the humanitarian choice in any situation, and it made my mom happy to see us all bathed in the glow of stained glass.
