What is proper funeral etiquette to go or no to go.....Yes please my closet and dearest friend just past away last Saturday and I've been pretty much the only one whose bothered with him for the past 12 years his family pretty much disowned him any one seen him once in the past 6 yeaes even his obituary seem disrespectful abd cold for it gives his name date of birth and the day died I find very unloveling and bit disrespectful that they didnt write in his family menbers like normally .but anyways his family never approbed of me because I m not of the same decent (Macedonian-Greek) and don't and know that im won't be very welcome there regardles if he didn't have much love from his 'blood' family he was my friend and my family in our own way. Is it wrong for me to pay respects mysrlf after his family had his funeral where I can say good bye all up and personal and close just they they do and not from watching at a distance . even though I feel that I should be the one there for and be the one to lye him to rest

Dear M Ee,
First of all, I want to extend my prayers and condolences. In my opinion, I think it's better if you call or text your friend's family first expressing how you wish to attend your friend's funeral. Not much is needed to be said. Just inform them that you want to pay respect and be civil about it. Regardless of the outcome, you have to respect their decision. If they won't allow you during the funeral, just visit after they are gone and pray. I am sure your friend's spirit is around and is listening to your prayers. Last thing your friend needs is drama after he is gone. Let him rest in peace. <3
