36. He told us he had no preference about burial or memorial service

That it was for us, not him. Right after his death, I think I was too full of grief to put up any resistance to my sister. We all have different ways of coping, and hers has been to organize and plan, get everyone doing this and that. So now that we've booked the park space, it seems to be inevitable that it will be a bigger production than I would have liked. At this point I just have to do my part in getting the various components of the service together. I think I'll suggest Hoppy's idea that we open it up to attendees to ask them to share stories about my Dad. I really like that idea.
