I don't know why anyone would have an issue - you're there to support the friend if you didn't know the parents well.

Yeah that's what I thought too but.. I dunno people are people? By issue I mean a vibe more than anything. They just mentioned it a couple of times on different occasions afterwards and I was like hmmm ok.

Weird. Could have been something that happened. You wore clothes?

Wasn’t going to make that mistake again.

Okay so the reason I asked is because I went to the funeral of my friend's dad today. I've known her/worked with her for over ten years - had never met her dad before but have supported her through his battle with cancer etc.

I was very shocked that none of her other friends attended. I just thought it was a given that friends would go to support each other. I'm wondering if it's because of where it was held and they maybe felt awkward.

To be honest, I have only had one close friend have a parent pass away and they had a small funeral for just family and family friends. I honestly don't know whether I would have gone if they had a bigger one.

If I think about whether I would want any of my mates to attend either of my parent's funeral I would say no. It is my time to grieve and being an introvert I would rather be left alone to deal with it on my own.

Interesting discussion.

I have been once for the father of someone I was good friends with at the time and I knew other people who were going so it made it easier to go. I can't remember ever talking to his father, maybe said hello to him a few times.

I don't see how it could be an issue unless it's close family/invite only which I attended one a few years ago for an Uncle. I've been to other funerals of people I hardly knew but it's about paying respect for the deceased and supporting those who knew them.

If a friend or mate didn't tell me when the funeral was happening I'd take that as a hint to not to turn up.

In a Mosque, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason.

Or maybe it wasn't clear that anyone could attend.

Why do facebook refuse to delete spam when you report it? They say it’s not against their community standards - are they that low or does their AI system need reprogramming?

Anybody know what this could be worth?

they wont delete obvious scammers either, like the guys who message women trying to con them into 'falling in love'

Shouldnt do, particularly when you tell them you will leave and go to another bank should they change it
