Hey guys - I have my first funeral on Saturday as an Atheist. My cousin died (at 22) and though I wasn't too close to him recently, that side of my family is very close knit. They are also very Christian.
Does anyone have any experience with this (it will be at a church) and do you have any tips on how to handle this?
My current plan is to follow along with what happens and not say too much - which may be the best approach?
If you can point me to any of Stefs or other relevant work on this I would appreciate this as well
Thanks!
Jonathan
Also it pays to note that I have told my immediate family, much to their dismay, that I am an Atheist. My mother, her mother, and my sister are very Christian, while my dad doesn't care either way.
