Is it bad not to attend the funeral of someone you didnt know?

>>39049133
why attend theirs if they won't attend yours ,

It's to show your respect, to your father's cousin. He is basically an uncle to you.

You should do so at the very least to desensitize yourself a little bit to funerals. Your mom and dad and uncles and aunts are all going to die one day too.

Ring your father back, say "I'll go dad, but mostly just to support you as I don't feel like I really knew ____ which is why I was a bit unsure before."

Just tell him the truth you autist

>>39049260
Yeah, you dont have to be there for a dead person. You be there for someone else who does care.

Well yeah but I'll most likely kill myself before them so it's won't be the same thing.

>>39049133
It's just about if you knew the person that passed away or not it's also about being there to try to help comfort and support others in their time of grief. Also maybe you should have tried having an actual conversation with your father about the issue like an adult instead of making up some bullshit excuses like a child.

Pretty much this.
Once you've grown old enough to make your own decision, you should know you don't need to find an excuse for everything. Just tell them no and that's it.

If your dad wants you to attend, attend. Be supportive of your father.

Okay, this is slightly off-topic but it happened back in my college.

>one of the club member's mother passed away
>teacher-in-charge telling people in the club we should attend it

Like, what the fuck is this thinking? Would you really want random people to show up at your funeral? Not that you would be in the position to care at that point but this teacher is just fucking retarded.

>Like, what the fuck is this thinking?
Maybe as comfort and support to the guy who lost his mother and is probably going through a hard time.

>>39049647
By literally inviting randoms to attend a funeral?

>>39049365
Cracked me up ffs

>>39049133
You're not going for your father's dead cousin you are going for your father you dense fuck. What a terrible piece of shit you are.

>>39049684
Funerals are FOR the families at this point in our culture
No one is afraid of unlaid corpses rising up as vampires, nor are they afraid of their souls not leaving earth
The funeral is to give people who cared closure and in going you'd be helping that end
You wouldn't complain if you were invited to a birthday of someone you didn't really know but all your friends were there would you?

Fpbp jjh

>>39049133
Fuck funerals, just a circle jerk woman created to turn a dead into a social event. I wil demand there wil be no funeral when I'm dead. And if I'm getting old and for some reason can't trust anyone, I'll just an slit my wrist whilst lying in a hole in the ground in the middle of a forrest.

Nobody was going to your funeral anyway

>never respond to his fb message

>>39049133
You should go, even if you did not know him, it was your family.

Robots with mental problems tend to make problems in their head.

Its only 2-3h, are you busy?

how stupid are you really, your dad just wants all his distant relatives to see he has a son and also to not be the only one who comes by himself, funeral is a family meeting so the same rules apply, the father will meet distant relatives there, some he hasn't seen in decades, so he wants them to see he has a son so he accomplished something in life, if you look decent that's a bonus

>>39049133
Always go. There is always food at the end of funerals. Unless your family is poor.

>even if you did not know him, it was your family.

Nah, I'm with OP, who the fuck cares

I went to a funeral once for someone I didn't even know existed until the day they died, met a bunch of extended family on my dad's side. Give 0 fucks about them. Why should I?
