I read on facebook that Mr. Shatner, put his closest friend Mr. Nimoy, funeral to one side so he can attend a charity, WTF.
Quote "The actor, who played Captain Kirk in the cult sci-fi series, said on Saturday he could not make the service because he already had plans to appear at a Red Cross ball in Florida."

That is such a poorest excuse I have ever read. Put aside your hobby Mr. Shanter, is what you should have done as I bet those at the charity would all be looking at you and thinking "why in the world didn't he go to his, close friends funeral." "We would all understand that". If you had fallen ill and couldn't make the horse charity or what ever it is you do? You get the idea?
I have been to few funerals myself I can't say I enjoy them as I have emotional outbursts of crying that shows I'm human.
