Around 30 including 7 suicides - all men in their mid-20's to early 30's.

Sad.

around 9 I am not a big funeral goer unless I knew the person or their family personally, I don't turn up 'just to be seen' like my family do in Ireland, they must average 3 funerals a month

This is the same for me, I wouldn't go to the funeral of "an acquaintance" (unless it was e.g. the parent of a close friend where I would go to show support, but none of my friends parents have died). A few of my staff like to go to the funerals of regular customers when they die... if I did that, I would have been to dozens .

I would only go to a funeral if it was a family member or an actual friend and - thankfully - I haven't lost any friends thus far, and in terms of my own family, two of my grandparents died before I was born, one when I was 5, and one when I was 7 and my parents thought I was too young to go to those funerals. So I don't actually have any "elderly" relatives to have funerals .

Three of my wife's grandparents are still alive however and now into their 80's, so I can sadly see my "number" increasing a bit over the next ten years.
