Please recommend films / TV shows about complex families coming together for weddings or funerals (all I feel like watching after a bereavement)

A bit specific maybe but it’s all I feel like watching! I’m off work following a bereavement and dealing with some complicated family stuff, and I just really feel like watching films or TV shows where there’s a complicated family and they’re brought together by some event like a wedding or funeral (whether that goes well or badly).

I’ve just started ‘The People We Hate at the Wedding’ which Amazon Prime helpfully suggested. Otherwise all I can think of is Six Feet Under. So thanks for any suggestions!

Downtown Abbey has a few of both - with gorgeous clothes and handsome footmen thrown in.

There's a comedy called the other one on BBC.

It's about a woman who finds out she has a half sister with the same name at their dad's funeral.

Another vote for 'This is where I leave you' and also 'Christmas with the Coopers' fits the bill (as well as being Chrismassy!).

Brothers and Sisters is brilliant too - but I've no idea if you can still stream it anywhere?
