[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it unacceptable to not go to a close relatives funeral who died of old age? I hate funerals. I know for some people it helps them mourn and get closure, but for me they just creep me out. It's not how I want to remember the deceased. Other people view funerals differently and emotions can run high during mourning. I'm concerned family members will think I'm selfish for not attending.[/quote]

They will think you are selfish because you are selfish. The funeral isn't about you, but about the entire family. Are you part of the family by choice?[/quote]

I.Don't.Care. what you think. I have a fundamental difference of opinion about the need, desire, and purpose of a funeral. i can support my family before and after the funeral. And that will be more helpful than a single day. So, you and and I have very different definitions of what is selfish.

You folks keep saying the funeral isn't about you. Well, it isn't about you either. It's supposed to be about the deceased. And he or she doesn't know I"m not there.

If You.Don't.Care. what people think, then why even post at all? Confidently skip the funeral with total confidence in your decision.[/quote]

Because I'm giving my perspective, which is as valid as yours is.[b] That's kind of the point of a message board, sweetie. Did you not know that?[/b]
All you "you're being selfish" people are, frankly, doing exactly what you're accusing me and others of. [/quote]

Are you this cliche in real life?[/quote]
