One of my husbands cousins died and they did not like each other at all. The families are crazy and have been feuding for 18 years.
My husband is a good guy and pretty respectable and his cousin and her family are "white trash"... sorry but they are. I want to know if other people think it is wrong to not go to the funeral due to the fact that we have not been in their lives at all and my husband has not been in that side of the families lives for over 25 years.
We are getting alot of flack for saying we will not be attending the funeral. (His family are all feuding and we have managed to stay out of it) They treat funerals like a social function.
Bottom line... he doesn't like any of them except his grandmother and his parents. Is it bad... do you think if we don't go.
We are getting the major guilts from his mother. I know a funeral is to support the living but what if you don't like them...lol this sounds bad :-)

everyone greives in there own way, don't go if there are ill feelings, there is no point in it.
Only if your husband is going to feel bad about not going later in life is the only way that I would say you should go.
I have some closer family members that I would not go to their funeral if they died and I wouldn't let anyone make me feel guilty.
If you think that it is better for your little family that you have not to go DON'T

I do not think there are right or wrong ways to deal with death. Everyone has personal choices and all family should respect your decisions.
