I would amend this to, "You never want your relatives to be happy". Or even, "You never want relatives". Simplifies wills and estate planning.

When my stepmother's oldest sister died, quite a few people attended the wake and the memorial service. No one cried, especially the children! I think that most people went just to make sure that she really was dead. She was.
