If you can't afford to go, then you can't afford to go. No amount of nitpicking, bad mouthing or anything else will change that. Don't let them pressure you into something that won't affect them at all in the long run, but will affect you.

I absolutely agree, plus taking time off from work as well.

I didn't even attend the services of my grandparents on my dad's side. As my parents put it, it's always better that you saw them alive on many occasions, and you can visit the gravesite anytime.

Yeah, funerals mean nothing to me. When I'm dead, I'm dead and I could care less who goes to my funeral.

Most of the people don't want to be there anyway, plus you get the people with the crocodile tears who hated the guy when he was alive (whether overtly or not) but now are "so sad" that he died.
