when my old JW dad died in 2016--i had his will checked and there was no mention of any funeral arrangements--and i know in the final years of his life he never mentioned it to me. I was his next of kin and visited him frequently--which the local " brothers" didnt any more. Ive no clue as to whether he had asked them not to..or if it was because they knew of his close association with me.
Anyway--i certainly didnt want any jw's at his funeral--or any kind of religious service. So a simple quiet committal was arranged--attended by me. 2 friends of mine ( both ex dubs ) and a couple of staff from the care home he had lived at for his final years. None of my family attended.
