[quote=Anonymous]Funerals are one of those things we go to because that's just what people do. Except in extreme situations, they're a social obligation people are stuck with whether they like it or not. If you consider this an extreme situation where going to the funeral is not something you are willing to do based on family drama, I would make sure to have a flower arrangement sent in your name and write condolence cards to your grandmother and whichever of your parents was the grandchild of the deceased. Share your sympathy, an offer of support of a type that you would be willing to follow through on, and express your regrets at not being able to attend - like 11:35 said, pick a reasonable but vague excuse. However, I would make this an absolute last resort, because not attending a funeral is something that is just not done in some families, and you'll have to judge whether this is the case for yours.[/quote]
