Another funeral to attend :(
I have to go soon to attend my uncles funeral. He was my Dads baby brother and while I do have some memories of him from when I was much younger, I haven't seen him now in many years. He never married, moved to a neighboring state, joined a rather extreme religion, and pretty much kept to himself.
I found it weird that he was cremated and they're burying his urn next to my dad. He had never really owned anything, but had a decent job, so is donating a rather large lump sum to his church. I feel a bit bad that I'm going only out of obligation. I really don't have a lot of emotion one way or the other about his death. Dads family of 7 kids is now down to just the 2 sisters... slowly and steadily I am approaching the status of the oldest generation in the family.
