Would you go to a tenant's funeral?

[Afternoonteavirgin]

One of my tenants died young, suddenly and unexpectedly recently.

We had a good relationship, she was a good tenant, but other than that I didn't really know much about her.

Her Mother has been sorting out her affairs and has invited me to the funeral.

I may not be able to get the time off work anyway, but I am unsure if it is appropriate for me to go given I didn't really know her other than the standard landlord/tenant realtionship?

Her Mum may be just inviting me to be polite as we are in communication due to her sorting out the house-all I have said is do not worry about rent etc. just keep me updated.

No I wouldn't.

No but I'd send flowers

I would go to the 'service' end of the funeral. Listen to the eulogy ext. which shows respect at the level you knew your tenant. I would then talk a few minutes with main relative and then discreetly slip away before the wake or other type of family/friend gathering.

That's if you can get the time off of course. If not send a card and possibly flowers a month or so later to main relative.

Not the same but when my grandad died some of his carers from his care home attended the service. We were all touched they turned up.
I would go if you can.

I know a landlord this happened to, they went to the funeral not the wake.

I would go as well.

I would probably send a card

Our landlady came to DH's funeral, she even kindly put up my immediate family for the night before. She even popped into the pub where we held his gathering after the event, I was very touched that she came.

I would go to the service at least.

I would go to the service.

I would definitely go.

Thank you all. I will see if I can get it off work.

Yes definitely

I’d go to the service.

Absolutely go if you can . It will be so appreciated .

Thank you all. It's very sad. 35 years old, beautiful girl. Got a very common disease, died of sepsis in hospital.

I would if invited.

DBIL did. Good tenant with 3 young DC. She had a brain aneurysm and died in front of them.

When I moved to America I to a house share. One of the roomies died a few days after I moved in. She hadn’t been there that long. The landlord who also lived there and I were invited to the service. We did go to pay our respects which I think was appreciated. I would personally go
