[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my MIL's funeral, they had a specific number of printed tickets. At the burial, they handed out the tickets to the people they wanted to invite to the repast. They had it at a local restaurant, and everyone was able to order what they wanted from the menu.[/quote]

That was beyond rude. People took time from their lives to attend and show respect for your MIL and you insulted them!  You needn't be concerned about anyone attending your funeral.[/quote] I did no such thing. My ex and I were separated at the time and I was not involved in any of the planning. As a matter of fact, my ex brought his AP so while I attended the funeral and the burial, I chose not to attend the repast (yes, i was given a ticket).  I'm just telling the OP how it was handled.

You were rude and you have no manners.  Your petty problems with your ex and his AP do not trump showing respect for the deceased.

I think she is saying she wasn't the one who planned a ticketed event, but that she merely attended such an event.  But I agree, handing out tickets to some guests but not others is beyond rude.  There is no way around it - a repast is required, and everyone who attends the funeral must be invited.  It can be a simple meal (or less) at someone's house, but it has to be offered.  [/quote]
