“It is a show of affirmation not for the dead, but for the living. There are no set penalties for not showing up, because none are necessary. In the cheap loneliness that is the overriding fact of every outlaw’s life, a funeral is a bleak reminder that the tribe is smaller by one. The circle is one link shorter, the enemy jacks up the odds just a bit more and defenders of the faith need something to take of the chill. A funeral is a time for counting the loyal, of seeing how many are left. There is no question about skipping work, going without sleep, or riding for hours in a cold wind to be there on time. “
–Hunter Thompson, Hell’s Angels
