[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. The fact that she told you about the death (with detail!) means you should go. [/quote] +1 [b]I wouldn't go to the graveside element but I would come to the memorial and show support for your friend. You don't even have to stay long, it's the appearance that matters[/b]. Friends of mine showed up unexpectedly to my brother in law's funeral and my husband was really touched. I think sometimes we feel awkward about making too grand of a "gesture" but most people just receive it as what it is intended to be: a show of support and kindness.[/quote] Where I am from, this is generally what people do. A lot of people will come to the memorial service; that is considered a public event and where people come to show support for the family. The graveside service is usually family and people who are like family only. A lot of times that is entirely private. The last 3 funerals I went to followed this pattern.[/quote]
