I went to an atheist funeral about 3 years ago and an almost atheist one (is that possible??) about a year ago.
The atheist one was for a guy who played in a local band and always wore union jack socks and red shoes when he played, the coffin went into the crematorium with the red shoes on top. Friends and relatives read stories about his very colourful life and then we went to his local cricket club for drinks. The evening ended with fireworks.
The other one was almost atheist, one bible reading I think, just top keep the relatives sweet, but they played Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (if you had known the guest of honour you would know that it was very fitting!)

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!
