The funeral was yesterday and it went better than I expected. They had a retired minister to do the official speech making stuff, actually a very nice and funny guy, it would be nice to meet him under different circumstances. He actually said that "we are all literally made from star dust" something that moved him several points up my "like list" The daughter of my fathers second wife said she wanted to scatter the ashes on the wife's grave and asked if I minded, I thought it was nice of her to ask and told her it was ok (didn't seem the place or time to say she could do anything she liked with them as they were only ash and chances are they would be a mixture of whoever went into the furnace that day anyway)
All in all it was not as bad as I expected
(The best funeral I ever went to was an atheist friend which ended up at night with fireworks because "Jim was a rocket man")

The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
