[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the age of the deceased.[/quote]

Exactly. If this was a sudden death of a 35 year old mother/father of small children, there's no way a shower would be appropriate.
But if it's the funeral for Aunt Bessie who lived a long life and died at 97, then go for it. [/quote]

DP.  It's funny because I think the age or relationship doesn't matter.  [u]One death isn't less worse than the other.[/u]  I do think that OP needs to mind her own beeswax about the shower though and attend only if she feels up to it.[/quote]

Totally disagree.  When my grandfather passed at 92, we were sad.  But he lived a long and happy life, and it reached its natural conclusion.  It would be SO MUCH WORSE if a child or young sibling passed at, say 7 or 34 or whatever.[/quote]

Agreed. My grandparents all died in their 90s at home surrounded by family. Morbidly enough we all thought they were good endings to long and happy lives. I could only be so lucky. [/quote]
