Ive been to a funeral before didnt know the person but I hated it. There was too much sadness/tears for me. I dont want to be forced to go which wouldnt make me feel any better. I get why I should if such a thing happens but would it be ok if I didnt ?
Should I go to funerals ?
I think it is socially acceptable to not attend a funeral. Everybody has there own way with dealing with that process and I think most people would understand.
Im not a religious person but I think it's important to attend, it can be awkward and sad, but it is also your last real chance to pay your respects to the departed - and honor their memory.
Everyone looks at things differently though, if you feel like you can pay your respects in another way or dont need to at all, by all means do what is right for YOU. Just be aware that you might come to regret it at some point in the future, there will only be one funeral.
I've never been one for funerals. I know it's a time for people to morn but I rather celebrate a person's life and feel happy that they got to live a long life then to dwell in grief, but everyone is different.
P.S once when I was a kid I took my gameboy at a funeral and played my Pokemon red version while it was going on.
I think its respectful to go. Its your last chance to pay respects and it is just respectful to be there even if you don't want to. Most people don't want to go to work every morning but they still go.
Its up to you though
If you didn't know them, don't go. What is the point in going if it is a random person or someone you didn't know?
However, if you were close, then yes you should go. Attending a funeral is more for respect to the dead and everyone else who knew the deceased. For example, if my grandma died (she lives only a couple blocks away from me, so we are pretty close), I would be a disrespectful jerk if I didn't attend.
All in my opinion of course.

At least someone agrees with celebrating life instead of mourning
Also Lol at the Gameboy thing

You'll burn in hell and your decedents will suffer humiliation for 10 generations. Don't shame your family name. Suck it up and go for 2 - 3 hours.

Just wanted to make sure. I really didn't want someone giving me a long winded speech on how "insensitive" I am.
@norrinboltagonprime21: @erik: Yea before condemning me you should probably use spellcheck.
yea people hold the most pointless arguments on here and then overblow it by adding others
You should go there and if you're bored play angry birds with your cellphone watch porn or some sh*t
@erik: Did you delete your comments ? Im not surprised your saying your spelling was the only idiotic thing in your comment.
How am I completely unselfish and unlikable ? Im unlikable because i gave you a response that makes you saltier than ice cream snaps.
People have free will they arent obligated to do anything
@erik: How odd I was going to edit it and say you seemed like the person to say its beneath you not worth your time blah blah blah you get the gist
Well it originally didn't say that. ;)
But I think it's safe to say that no one is going to be at your funeral. There's something satisfying about that.
