I agree with you 100%. Even if you had not met this lady you should attend as she was a matriarch of the family also. Especially if it will not create any type of financial difficulties for you and your mate you should honour this woman at this time.

I actually have attended weddings and funeral amenities for persons i'm close with and who've requested me to affix. I had non secular acquaintances attend my thoroughly nonreligious wedding ceremony ceremony and that i'd wish i'm no longer so hung up on human beings having distinct beliefs i could not go back the pick. I regard that there is as a lot a mundane function in those rituals as there's a non secular one. Funerals are about comforting one yet another in loss and remembering and honoring the life of the guy who has died. Weddings are about showing your help and sharing the excitement of two human beings pledging their lives to one yet another. i do not cover that i do not share their non secular convictions so i assume they does no longer question me in the adventure that they felt uncomfortable that i do not share each and every of the beliefs aired there. i do not pray alongside or partake of any of the non secular symbolism. I do stand and sit down even as they do as a level of respect and by no ability calling interest to myself over the get mutually in view that i'm there in contract with helping their alternatives and their perfect to them. i do not kneel although and this became a touch bit a problematical call for me even though it purely felt too hypocritical for me to be comfortable with it, like declaring prayers i do not remember on only to fit in. It grew to develop into out to no longer be a huge deal now to not so it worked out high quality.

I would ask your partner why he doesn't want you to go. He may think the funeral is going to be hard enough and he doesn't want to have to worry about introducing you to people or he may need to help make family decisions and he doesn't want to worry about what you are going to do during these times. He needs to figure out what is going to make this experience the easiest on him and then you should respect his decision since it is his grandmother.

A funeral should be attended by anyone who chooses to pay respects to the decedent.
A person paying respects to the dead is not acting in poor taste.

Not only should you go because you knew her and want to, but you go to support the family. I see no reason for you to stay home if you have the money to go. Best wishes and sorry for your loss.

i think it would be usual for the spouse to attend. Maybe your partner doesn't want you to see him upset, or maybe he thinks you would get upset and he would have to support you as well as himself?

Grandmother is a close relative, you should definitely go.
