My presence was requested at my husb's brother in law's mother's funeral. ugh. I had to arrange my uncle's. My family, or lack of , does not have $$. So I arranged a small quaint service for my uncle many years back after his murder. (also after my dad's suicide, I had a small gathering.) My husb's sister is requesting our presence at the funeral. I have never asked or requested anyone to come to the small services for my late family. Some people just offered (which I thought they were crazy!!! I dont like funerals. I dont like death. It brings up so much pain.... just venting here!!

My heart goes out to you uncleeddiesniece, I have that same problem. I don't go to funerals now unless I absolutely have to. I send flowers, donate in their memory, send cards, call and talk to people. But going there is so hard - the overwhelming smell of so many flowers can actually make me nauseous, the coffin, so many things taking me right back to the day we buried our Beth :-(
