[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Date A. Obviously. The children can be there, and can start the grieving and healing process sooner once the funeral is over.

[b]I don’t know what the hell reason could justify siblings being “not available” for their sibling’s funeral,[/b] but whatever it is is not good enough to wait. If it’s health related, that’s an oh well.[/quote]

Maybe one of them has an international business trip that "can't be rescheduled" and the other one has a child with scheduled surgery?[/quote]

Read the first post.  They are all retired and all their children are grown and out of the home.[/quote]

My point was that there can be a variety of reasons why people are unavailable, including the ones OP has.

Let's go with:
1. Booked an international trip of a lifetime that is nonrefundable.
2. Has a child with a commitment and the person committed to providing childcare.
3.  Has a child with a serious medical condition and needs to be with them for a procedure.
4.  Has been planning a huge charity event for a year that is going to occur on that date.

I can imagine many reasons....[/quote]
