I would, no questions asked, out of respect for your partner.\n\nDont Go = Look Bad/Wheres your partner/Who Cares/I dont know\nGo = Wow, what a nice person. Thanks for being there.\n\nYou can figure it out.

most funeral homes understand that people sometimes need help with final expenses.  don't wait till the bill is due, go talk to them and explain the situation.  i'm betting they will come up with a payment program that works for you.  sorry for your loss.

Well, I would have to say that the grieving process is different for everybody and while I agree that you should pray for the dead, they understand that you cry because you're saddened at the loss of a person you loved. I see it as an expression of love, that someone cared about me enough to cry over my passing.

Start asking them what they want at their funeral, maybe they will get the hint! lol or just have their doctor lay it on them straight!\nplease pick a best answer-we are real people taking time to answer!

People have a funeral to remember you, hopefully they'll say good things about you, and that's it. No afterlife, no heaven, no hell. Just the world going on without you.\n\n\nLong Live Jambi

I would think it would depend on whether there is going to be a viewing or not and whether they are being cremated or burried.  When I die, I definitely do NOT want to be embalmed and I will also be cremated, thx.

I 've been working in a funeral directors for the last 18 years. I've seen all ages of children at funeral services. It seems that children can handle cremations better than those that attend burials. I imagine that it's something to do with seeing the coffin actually being lowered, therefore it hits home that what they're seeing is final. Having said that, burials are more distressing for adults too. Where I work we don't offer any guidelines on what age a child should be to attend a funeral,but we do lay down guidelines when it comes to children viewing the deceased. If he/she  has expressed a wish to attend,then take him/her along. But please be prepared to offer an escape should one be needed.

It depends. The funeral can be a "closed casket" if the family requests it or if person died from a trauma that resulted in disfiguration or if there is a lot of deterioration.

Funerals are about closure. The pain to the people who are still around after a person has passed is able to end, or begin ending.  The present becomes the past and painful experiences become painful memories. \n\nIf you needed to be to your friends funeral because you were immersed in grief Id say go there. If you were ok with your friend dying I would go to  the other funeral to support those who needed you more.

yes you should. Why? when a person dies the family is going through so many emotions and everything is a fog.  They are so hurt and sad and at times don't remember who all came to see them and it's not because they are being rude, they are just so consumed with not having the loved one there anymore.  So, yes you are doing the right thing and they will be very happy to know you care.

May you live your life so there is standing room at your funeral.

Most people will let you go to a funeral without saying anything.  Just tell them that there was a death in the family.

I ould make all arrangements, so my family doesn't have to. I would also check in with the hospital so that I could be typed for organ donation. Somebody will get another chance to live because of my death.
