Would you go to this funeral?

[Beanybye]

Your dad’s brother’s wife’s sister. So your Aunts sister but they’re not a blood relation. Someone you met 2-3 times in your whole life, you’ve never had a conversation with them, just said hello as you entered a large room full of people.

I meant that middle paragraph from the perspective of the deceased close family. They won't care.

No. Not unless I was particularly close to my aunt and she didn't have other support. I've never met any of the siblings of my non-blood aunts or uncles. Nor have I ever gone to the funeral of anyone I have only met 2-3 times and never really spoken to. Not sure why you would during normal circumstances.

Your father is being very odd.

I wouldn't attend the funeral of my BIL/SIL's brother/sister either. Barely met them. Never mind my father's BIL/SIL's brother/sister.

Nope!

People have different cultural traditions about funerals. In some you only go to funerals if you were close to the dead person- in others you go even if you were only loosely associated with the family. Does your husband come from the first sort?

Sorry- second sort..

But but but if people with such a loose association attended, you could have hundreds and hundreds show up! How does that even work??

Or does only family count?
