Scenario

When siblings disagree about religious funeral traditions

My sister and I are planning our father's memorial service and she wants a full Catholic mass while I left the church years ago and Dad was questioning everything near the end. We keep having the same circular argument about honoring his memory versus honoring his actual beliefs and neither of us wants to hurt the other but we can't find middle ground.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person must reconcile different understandings of how to honor both his life and his spiritual journey.
