Is it alright not to attend a mother’s funeral in order to avoid seeing siblings not on good terms with?

I'm not a believer in the funeral goodbye. I think everyone has the right to say goodbye to a loved one in their own way. If its only going to make an already difficult situation more unpleasant, I'd say just make your goodbyes on your own.

I'd rather attend "in spirit". I don't have to physically be there.

These days, Covid is a valid excuse not to attend...

That's not good.

If they feel a fight could break out, I'd say don't show up. Let the woman have her funeral in peace.

I don't come from a close-knit family. At my dad's funeral, my mom and I left early to beat the rush.

there was no luncheon?

The above joke was stolen from George Miller.

i know a guy who goes to funerals for people he barely knows to get the free lunch and drinks.

reply

Uncle Junior from the Sopranos did that during his house arrest...so he could get out of the house.

If someone really wants to attend their mother's funeral, then they should just go. You don't want to end up regretting it. Just ignore the siblings.

Best advice 👍👍

IVE SEEN THAT MOVIE...MANY TIMES...YOU WILL FIGHT,AND BICKER AND SLOWLY BOND TOGETHER AND RESOLVE YOUR DIFFERENCES EITHER WITH A LOT OF LAUGHS OR HIGH DRAMA.

I would say that a funeral should be the one time, that a feud should be forgotten for a day.

reply

No, you should go. You won't regret it. Trust me.

I think the answer really depends on how important it is to you to be there. If it is important then go and simply ignore the siblings.
