I've just attended my second one and I'm 49.

I'm 39 and I think it's 11.

65 & 4: both parents & both in-laws.

I'm 66 and have attended 4...parents, sibling and ds. Won't be attending any more

Probably over 100, I’ve worked in social care a long time and always go to the service of clients if I can. It seems like it’s different around the UK though as where I am it’s usual for people to go to the funerals of friends parents, parents friends, colleagues etc so I’m quite surprised by people saying such low numbers.

I’m 45 - been to 10

2 x Great Aunts
1x Great Uncle
3x Grandparents
1 x in-law
1 x elderly friend
1 x cousin
1 x Aunt

I’ve just remembered another one. I’m wondering if people just haven’t remembered. There are a ton of funerals I’ve wanted to attend but haven’t been able to because of work.

2 - age 48, both friends
3 grandparents died when I was too young to attend, the 4th well, don’t ask about that, I would have gone if my mum hadn’t booked it for the one day I told her I absolutely couldn’t make!

Only three at 63. Think I am quite lucky there.

About 12, maybe a couple more. I’m 57.

At least 11, there are possibly one or two I have forgotten about.

I'm mid 60s so the rate is increasing!

Gran. Grandad, Uncle, husbands Nana.

I am 40.

18 and I’m 53.

16 that I can think of, I'm 41.

Some of them were for residents of various care settings that i worked in, but I attended because I wanted to, not because we had to.

I’m 44 and I’ve lost count. By the time I was 19 I had already been to 3, one grandparent and two friends. I usually have a few each year now, it’s crazy, and I can’t always make it to them all either.

Grandparents x 3, great aunt, great uncle x 2 , friend x 2, friend's parents x 3. Loads more where I've either just done the removal or the church. Lost count tbh, I'm Irish, and I'm 32.

I’d say anywhere between 80-100.
im 46.
I’m also Irish, where we go to the funerals of people we have never met, because we know the bereft.

immediate family- 4
Extended family - 5
friends -1
colleagues -2 (it’ll be 3 tomorrow)
family members of friends- probably 10/12
family members of colleagues- again probably 15-20
patients - 20 or so
neighbours/parents friends -15
others 20

I would think 20-30? I’m 43 and Irish, it’s quite normal to go to the funeral of anyone you have even a tangential relationship to here.

12 - I'm 47. Of those, 8 have been for young or middle-aged friends, unfortunately.

65: 13
The awful ones were those who went far too soon.

I think 12. I’m 31, so seems to be quite high. Sadly only two were ‘old’, the rest were either friends of me annd/or my husband, so under 35, to accident or suicide, and three were just children, two of those to accidents and one to illness. Unspeakably awful.

I’m 32 and have been to 14 funerals. Seems like a lot!

7, I think.

Both parents, a grandmother, a niece, my ex s grandad, a relative's stillborn baby and a friend's mum.

I'm late 40s.

3, I’m 26
My nan, my great auntie and my great nan.
