You should always go to other people's funerals;
otherwise, they won't come to yours.

‘You should always go to other people’s funerals; otherwise they won’t come to yours.’

I actually practice that! And not only for the person I know/knew.
When the deceased is a family member of a person in one of my clubs, or church, I will go.
It’s the right thing to do.
When I’m signing the guest book, I know when the family reads it they will be grateful for those who attended - including my attendance.
A bonus is when the service includes a chance to speak about the person, I often can find a different ‘nugget’ to pass along.
Families LOVE hearing how their member affected those around them.

So many people work and will not ask for time off to attend funerals, so that’s another reason I get myself to the service.
