Does that mean you're not going? Did he live a long way from you?
I guess he did, or you would have seen him more often.
You could have a private ceremony of your own. That's what I did when my father died and I couldn't get to his funeral. I lit a candle and talked to him. Thanked him for being my dad, then said I hoped he would rest in peace.
I don't believe he was around to hear it, of course. It was just something I needed to do for myself.
