Who started the funeral business anyway - anybody know? Is it a religious thing?

Personally I don't like funerals, I think they are very traumatic (an understatement I know) - the conventional wisdom is that funerals somehow finalize a loved ones death as if closure is unlikely without one... I don't know - I don't think I would want one for myself, thats for sure. My parents are both deceased and there was a large funeral for my mother, because she died in her 50s, it was unexpected... the funeral made things worse for all involved I think but it was an expected convention - something you "just did". My father who was elderly died in a retirement community (not a home, a housing development for retirees) and there no one had funerals so he didn't have one either, just a quiet session at the funeral home with a few family members.
