If a person dies who has not friends and few family members there will be no one at a memorial service. My mother died March 1st. She had outlived almost all her friends and most of her family. She has also moved very far away from all of us to be with my brother. There was no service. I viewed her body at the hospital, had a funeral home pick her up and she was cremated. They mailed me her ashes in a box.

These types of arrangements are very common now and if everybody that you know that dies has a funeral you must run around in some sheltered circles. It has never been that the majority of adult humans who die on planet earth in any given time period have funerals.

I think you are very mistaken on that.

Probably. I would be happy to be proven wrong. Let's start in America since we are most familiar with it. Have I been wrong in thinking that burial or cremation with some kind of a service was the typical american way of handling our dead?
