It was in his back yard, fully catered with open bar and live band. Still prolly cheaper than a funeral home. Lots of people showed up, old friends I used to work with but hadn't seen in a decade. Almost like a reunion of sorts.
now THAT was a service. I like that.
My wife knows I think that would be cool, but it's up to her what she wants to do.

For me, since I do not attend church, a funeral and a memorial service seems inappropriate.
My wife and kids know a small party/BBQ is the only formality I want.
And no obit beyond loving husband and father.
