How to eulogize the dad no one likes? My friend's father is just one more reason feminism exists -- but can we say that?
  • a different take

    While no the identical situation, I recall a funeral I attended where the deceased was liked, yet a difficult person. When one speaker acknowledged that === was "not the easiest person" the tone of the whole funeral changes. We all knew her this way and came together in loving, humorous memories.

    The question seems to be, "is the funeral for the deceased?" or is is for those who have survived and experienced a loss?
