I used to work in a funeral home, so I could offer the following practical suggestions:
1. Don't overspend. It's easy to do.
2. Make it a good 'fit' for your dad. There's no formula that has to be followed, so make the service something that truly reflects HIS life and values.
3. Have someone else help you at the funeral home, preferably a close friend or relative; their objectivity will be useful.
4. Ask your Mom and sisters what their expectations are, and let those help guide you in your choice of a service.
Other than that, all I can say is to trust yourself and your judgment. A funeral is a very personal expression of life, and you know your dad as well as anyone.
