Help needed quick another funeral etiquette question

[mesenfantsmaman]

Right okay, my neighbours funeral today, myself and dp are going we have to drop kids off at mums first. We were planning on coming back and seeing him off, but do we discretely wait inside or pay our respects openly in the street. Feel a bit wierd about what to do, we all felt very close to him but obviously he isn't family so we don't want to get in the way, so inside or out?

not good on official etiquette, but i would guess that you could at least step outside your house and stand there as a mark of respect?

I would stand at your gate and wait for the cortege to leave, then follow in your own car.

He must have been a great guy and neighbour.

RIP

Thanks Tutter , I think doorstep may be a good plan

Thanks BLLB he really was a fab guy, my kids miss him loads, he died very suddenyl last week and we all feel his loss

I think his family would be touched to see people show how much this person meant to them. I'd go with gate or stand at you r front door.

Thanks gscrym

Did it all go OK Mesenfantsmaman?

Yes thankyou, was a very sad day but a great send off, over 200 people attended, we feel very priviliged to have known him and to have shared some of his life with him
Thankyou for asking x
