My question to you is what would you like done at your funeral? My thoughts where mainly the normal stuff IE Reading of the Obituary, A time where his close friends had a few moments to reflect on his life and what it meant to them, and then finish up by sharing my stories about us growing up together.

Sounds good to me. There's no need to invoke religion into a memorial unless the person being memorialized was religious.

If there was certain things he would have wanted specifically, like music, etc...I'd try to accommodate those. But it's a very simple thing to gather his friends and family together to remember him without invoking a religion or faith he dd not hold.

And a sincere kudos to you for attempting to respect the man's wishes. Not everyone would or does, so I thank you for him.
