It would be obscenely rude to not have a funeral for someone who has lived a good, productive life who was loved by many and is missed by all who knew that person. Funerals honor the life of the deceased, as the wake is just for that purpose, and for the grieving of the life lost. Funerals are reverent as everyone is supposed to wear their best clothes, or what they would wear for church, if not better. Cremations, though preferable to some, are comletely different than funerals, as cremations burn the body into ashes and have the ashes placed into an urn (vase) for safe keeping. Funerals preserve the body, though cremations are considerably cheaper (urns are cheaper than coffins). Funerals preserve the body because it is believed by many that that same body is to be resurrected when Christ comes back.
