[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:

Thanks to the people who said kind words.

The cousins are not off the hook. I think most people were appalled at how few of them showed up. I know it really saddened my father, who planned the funeral expecting that of course their grandkids would show up.

I've let DS know how much his actions hurt both me, and more importantly the rest of the family and he has just repeated that he couldn't get off work.

Honestly, after talking to DH I think we will be lowering the level of support we give DS as he finishes up college. If the money from his job is more important then his grandma's funeral, I guess he can use it productively.

(Before everyone jumps down my throat, he has the ~10k from his grandparents in a savings account, plus more then $3000 in his personal account, so he is not going to be homeless. Plus a couple hundred in cash, at least, according to him).   [/quote]

OP - I have attended many funerals because I WAS RAISED TO ATTEND THEM to honor the dead and support the survivors. Since so many of the grandchildren didn't show up, I must wonder how they were raised, including your son.[/quote]
