[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly I think you're being disgusting, OP. Your DH may need the funeral to provide some closure about his grandfathers death, or may feel the need to be around family at that time. I'm a bit appalled that somebody would feel the need to question if attending the funeral of a close family member is worth the financial cost/time commitment. Sad. [/quote]

Given that you've confirmed the funds will not take away from needs or immediate wants (Christmas), I agree. The fact that you two haven't come up with a family budget is a problem, but don't punish your husband for that (Do let this be a wake-up call that you need to make a budget).

My grandmother is 87 and overseas, and I am very close to her. I've been able to make trips to see her nearly every year, and that travel was something DH and I talked about before we even got married. When she dies, it is very important to me to go pay my last respects and to support and be supported by our extended family. If my DH gave me a hard time about that being "worth it" when we had available funds, I would be both crushed and angry.[/quote]
