Funeral

[rhubarbcat]

Argggggghh, do people think I should go to a funeral of an uncle I've only seen twice in 20 years?

My dad (its his brother), rang to tell me when the funeral is and said straight off that he guessed I wouldn't be going - and didn't seem bothered. My mum on the other hand says that I should go.

Its just that I have a big exam in 3 weeks time and need to be revising, the fuenral is a 2/3 hour drive - so would be gone all day.

Am I been a cow if I don't go?

no i wouldnt go esp as your dad isnt bothered. But do make an effort to support your dad regarding his loss

sorry for your (dads) loss

no, of course not!

Send a condolence card, or some flowers, if you can afford it.

is your dad upset about his brother's death? does he need you there to support him? or will he have other family there anyway? if your dad's ok then i wouldn't go, but do send a card and poss flowers.

Am sorry to read of your Uncle's passing.

My uncle (my Dad's brother) died not so long ago and I had not seen him for some years prior to his death.

I did not go the funeral, my Dad said that my brother and I did not have to attend this.

I was asked by my Dad to send flowers to the church.

HTH

Dad doesn't seem upset. Mum only wants me there so she isn't by herself (she's split from my dad). She's certainly not grieving and I imagine is only going for the buffet as I can't see any other reason why she'd go.
