[quote=Anonymous]When my dad died suddenly (68 form CHF) and we were planning his funeral the funeral director cautioned that people didn't attend funerals in the numbers they had in the past. My parents lived in a rural community btw. The funeral turned out to be standing room only. This was before they did things like set up remote viewing overflow rooms and the sanctuary was packed. It meant a great deal to see how many people showed up. I have a friend from h.s. I exchange cards with and occasional facebook posts. I've visited a handful of times in the last 15 years (they live a few hundred miles away). Her husband had COPD and his last couple of years were pretty bad, and they weren't having any visitors (during covid). She posted his death on her FB page. When I arrived for the funeral she hugged me, started crying, and said she was so glad I came. I'm in the "always go to the funeral" camp unless it has been clearly arranged as a private event.
