Answer:
In The Funeral by Ruskin Bond we have the theme of loss, mortality, uncertainty, change, loneliness, connection, determination and hope. Taken from his Collected Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and from the beginning of the story the reader realises that Bond may be exploring the theme of loss. The young boy has lost his father and is left to face a life of uncertainty. There does not seem to be anybody at the boy’s home who is taking responsibility for the boy. With the exception that all the mourners tend to agree that the boy is too young at nine years of age to attend his father’s funeral. This may be important as Bond may be suggesting that those who are responsible for the funeral are not necessarily putting the boy first. It may be a case that tradition is being followed without consideration being given to the boy. It is also interesting that not only has the boy’s life changed but the gardener and cook both know that they will have to look for another job. This may be significant as Bond may be highlighting the fact that with death comes not only grief but changes to an individual’s way of living.

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.
moral of the story 'Chachi's funeral' of Ruskin bond.
The boy may not know it but he is taking the right steps when it comes to moving forward. He may have no control over the future but he can at least try and reshape his life in an image that is both satisfactory to him and his father. Also the boy refuses to let go of his father which might suggest again that the boy is innocent but in all likelihood Bond may be highlighting the boy’s drive. As to whether the boy has a firm grip on what will actually happen to him is difficult to say. Though it might be worth noting that the boy by crying as he is walking away from the graveyard is beginning to grieve the loss of his father. A step in the right direction for the boy.
