Does your spouse insist you go to lots of funerals?

Personally i attend without fail, even if it's someone I knew briefly.

And especially if I'm invited. As for a spouse if one of their relatives/friends died I'd make the point of asking them first if they would like me there as support as its the only real decent thing to do for them IMO .

As for chit chat about them and making them out to be " gods " LOL its only for one day mate plus here in the UK we have what is called a wake where we have a drink to celebrate their lives so........... If it's all too much have a drink or 6

Funerals are for the living, not you - I mean, the dead.

Sometimes it's better to pay your respects to the family at the visitation the evening before. It means a lot to the bereaved if you take the time to stop in for a moment or two. It also allows you time to visit with their other friends and family.

You can opt out of the funeral.

But if you don't want to go, don't.
