Hi,
I lost my mum earlier this week to cancer.
I am the youngest in a family of 3 and the only female. We are starting to arrange the funeral and my brothers are insisting that there is no gathering afterwards (it will be a crematorium service). So, no caterers in or anything like that. I was planning on hiring somewhere for a couple of hours. My mum had quite a lot of friends and some of her family left.
Do you think it is odd for people to just come away from the crematorium and that is it? I think they are being tight and a bit ignorant tbh. My mum left plenty in insurance and savings so it's not like the money isn't there. I would pay myself anyway.
What will people think if no gathering afterwards?
