In your life , have you been to more weddings or funerals?

5 each for me

Too many of both to count but probably about 50:50 split. Maybe 20ish of each

More funerals, definitely.

Many more funerals, occupational hazard!

Definitely more funerals. A couple of times I didn’t even know the deceased, but was asked to go to support somebody else.

Funerals by a good margin. Missed a few weddings because dc weren’t included, or costed out of foreign destinations. Funerals in Ireland always include dc

Definitely funerals, many of them children.

Weddings but I am expecting them to be overtaken by funerals as I'm nearly 64.

Probably 50/50 but probably only because my parents and their generation are 80s and 90s now

5 weddings (including my own)
5 funerals

I’m 40 next year.

Approx 8 weddings (didn't think it was that many)

Well over 20 funerals

Edited to add: I also meant to say that included my own wedding. And I'm 53.

Far more funerals!!!!

A lot more weddings (about 35 compared to about 15 funerals)

Many more weddings , and I’m old. I commented to my husband recently that my late twenties/early 30s were like 4 Wedding and a Funeral , without the funeral. Summers of getting or giving lifts to obscure parts of the deep countryside , staying in a variety of B&B’s or pubs that were filled entirely with guests , wrangling 2 hats and three guest outfits into various combinations.

And now my two DDs are doing the same thing, only now they stay in Airbnbs.

I’ve been to my grandmother’s funeral, my parents’ ones, a colleague and a friend’s husband’s memorial service which I shall count.

8 funerals
Approx 15 weddings

10 weddings and 3 funerals. I'm mid 60s

12 funerals and 10 weddings

I've now done a quick count of all I can remember as the question intrigued me and I have it as 23 funerals and 26 weddings.

Quite a few of the funerals are about me going to support one of the family rather than being my own family member or friend who had died.

Far more weddings. There was a period in my late 20s / early 30s when I was going to 6 or 7 weddings a year!

I've only ever been to 5 funerals.

More funerals sadly

I've lost count but I think more weddings. I haven't even been to that many weddings either.

So far, weddings. I honestly don't know how many! Quite a few. And only a handful of funerals, but I lived OS for a while so I missed a few that I'd otherwise have gone to.

Lots of funerals - 2 grandparents, mum, dad, 2 brothers, 2 aunts, 3 uncles, a nephew, 4 friends.
Weddings - 2, one next week

Thankfully a lot more weddings. I've been to 4 funerals of those gone way too early and too many to count of older family and friends (maybe 20) but I reckon I've been to over 40 weddings.

9 weddings
1 funeral
But I'm in my 30s so I think this will change

12 weddings (a mixture of friends and family's weddings)

6 funerals (all older family members.)

Fortunately, I've never been to the funeral of someone younger than 60 or a friend. I suppose that naturally changes as you get older perhaps.

I'm in my mid 30s.
