If your initial reaction to hearing of the death of someone is a desire to attend the funeral, for your own healing or to support someone else, then just go. Chances are several others will be there and there is always strength in numbers.

You should not go to a funeral when your presence would upset a family member or loved one of the deceased.

It is not proper or appropriate to attend the funeral of an ex if that person has a new husbad/wife etc..

If you caused pain to the deceased or someone close to the deceased it is best not to go.

Remember the funeral is not about you.

  • The only reasons for not going to a funeral are: You don't know the family that well and you would be going alone; illness; living in another town or city or you can't afford to take time off work. If you don't know the deceased that well (say a friend's parent has passed away) you should try you best to attend the funeral to show your respect. If you have one of the reasons above you should send a card and flowers to the family home.

Most funerals are held between 3 and 10 days after someone dies. It usually takes a few days to make all the final arrangements, get the funeral organized and for people traveling to the funeral to arrive so 3 days is usually a minimum. As time goes on there can be issues with storing the body - especially if it has not been embalmed, so a week to 10 days is usually the longest people wait to have the funeral. Obviously there are exceptions to these situations - especially if there are legal questions about the death or autopsies to be performed or if the person died some time before their body was recovered or if the body is being shipped from where they died to where the funeral will be held.

While there is no hard and fast rule for arrival time for a funeral, it is generally thought that you should arrive about 15 minutes early.

It is appropriate to go to a funeral if you know the person or know of them. You shouldn't go if you don't know the person at all.

Should minor children be allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to attend religious services or should their parents decide?

If the parents are of faith and go to church, then they should bring their young children with them to give them a base of learning on religion from which to decide. But if, after the children reach the age where they can decide for themselves, they decide they don't want to go, then the parents need to respect their child's feelings about it and not force them to go if they don't want to. Also, if, when the young children become older, they decide they prefer to try another faith, then they should be allowed that choice, too.
