Would you go to the funeral?

[MendingWall]

DH has received an invitation (I didn’t even know this was thing) from his sister to the funeral of his BIL’s DM.

We have met her no more than 4 times (over the last 20 years) and the funeral is a 3 hour drive away.

I think going is bonkers (waste of annual leave and petrol), but he feels like he should attend. My view may be coloured by the fact I don’t really like either of them (sister or BIL), but consequently we are not close. So AIBU to say don’t go?

Was the OP's DH's sister particularly close to her MiL? If it's s loss for her it does make sense to have some other family attend. 💐

You're not visiting the dead person. The funeral is for those left behind.

He is an adult and can go lf he wants
