[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are not close, but simply want to pay your respects, I think attending only the viewing is entirely appropriate. Honestly, I think that you would be able to speak to him and pay your respects more at the viewing, than at the funeral.[/quote] +1 Lots of families offer to have the wake right before the funeral on the same day because some family members and friends can't make the viewing which is a little more informal. You don't have to "view" the body--but try to locate the colleague if they are there. If you don't see your colleague, make sure to sign the guest book. Oftentimes, acquaintances prefer to go to the viewing/wake the night before instead of attending the funeral which is more formal. [/quote]
