[quote=Anonymous]OP, of course you can decline. And you can just say you are too overwrought and do not feel up to it. You don't sound like a jackass, even if others try to pressure you. When my father died, it was decided that all of us (3 sibs and me) would say something at the funeral. I told them I didn't feel comfortable speaking, and a compromise was reached: I did a reading. I did a very poor job at that, and wished I could just sit in the pews with my grief. A funeral is not a performance, and none of the mourners are paid performers. You need to process in your way. I would say "I'm honored that you want me to speak, but I am not up to the task at this time." I'm sorry for your loss.[/quote]
