[quote=Anonymous]You need to have a reason people can understand, otherwise you're going to seem incredibly disrespectful, OP. I missed an uncle's funeral in Asia, because I didn't want to travel that far. I missed THREE relatives' funerals during the pandemic, one because her country was closed to foreigners, and two because they had refused the vaccine, and I wasn't about to travel across the Atlantic for vaccine-deniers. My excuse was that they were all too far for us, and those reasons were accepted. So think of something quick, OP. The deepest, most solidly-anchored tradition in all cultures is attendance to the ceremony for a deceased person (wake, funeral, whatever it is in other cultures). It's a huge deal to flout it.
