Can funerals be handled like this now? Uncle passed away at only 59 years old. His son didn't notify anyone, just ordered the simplest funeral service on his phone. In no time, two people came and took the body away. The next day, he was cremated, and the ashes were placed in an urn. On the third day, he went back to work. No one paid respects, and not a penny was spent. Relatives and friends all said he was unfilial; they didn't even get to see him one last time. But he said it wasn't necessary—since he's gone, what's the point of those formalities? They're all for the living. Not letting him keep the money to live a good life, just to reassure the elderly. Do you think families with only children will all do this in the future? Do you support this kind of approach?
