If you don't like funerals, you can do what Preach did in Cooley High. Wait till they all left and say goodbye in your own way like he did. I don't think not showing up to the funeral means you are disrespecting, there's a lot of ppl who can't handle funerals. Nothing wrong wit that. I think what counts is that you say goodbye somehow in your own way. At the same time I feel what Caff is saying. Sorry about your friend man.
