Two thoughts.
First, I hope the service is meaningful for the people it's most important to--his family, particularly his children, and his close friends.
Second, I think the "public" service is going on all around us, as evidenced by the outpouring of thoughts and emotions on the web, as well as the impromptu celebrations of flowers, symbols, and so on, at all sorts of places ranging from Apple stores to the middle of streets.
I wish his family all the best, and extend my sincerest condolences to them, again, especially his children.

Amen. That church needs to be disbanded, and the people who go to it have their heads checked because something is clearly wrong upstairs.
