So don't think for too long, as the first answer that comes to mind is often the best reflection of your own attitude. Respect for the religious beliefs of the deceased. Jyrki's elderly, religious mother died after being unconscious for about a year. As the closest relative, Jyrki was given responsibility for the funeral arrangements. Because of her illness, the mother was unable to make any special requests for her own funeral. Jyrki himself is not a religious person, nor are his mother's surviving relatives. After careful consideration, Jyrki organised a very small funeral for his mother in the presence of her closest relatives, without even inviting a priest.
