I just realized the one neighbor I have that hates me is the only neighbor who showed up to my mom's funeral.

I'm sure he showed up for the rest of my mom's family that lives in the neighborhood, but it's interesting that no one else showed up... especially my nice neighbors.

Maybe they didn't get invited?

Wait... do you need an invitation to a funeral? 😒

I don't know why I just thought of that.

Did they serve dinner after the funeral? Because some people will show up at anything to get a free meal?

@cherokeepatti Yeah. He liked my grandfather or vice versa...or both. He talks to my uncle, my mom's brother. So, that's why.

@perceptivei Respect to them to go to her funeral then.

@cherokeepatti Yeah.

Sometimes a person who sings unkind and uncaring. Just doesn’t know how to show it. Such a person may show up at a funeral to expressive something. Or just for the show of it. I would accept the first is a important part of this moment

@Amylynne I think he's probably a caring man. He liked my grandfather and uncle. They have stuff in common.

You need to know when and where it's happening.

My parents sometimes have had an extremely hard time finding when and where a funeral will be taking place of someone they knew.

And they're good with technology and retired and have the free time to go.

@perceptivei i do not know what else to say .. grief is a long lasting thing.. and if he is still your neighbor be nice for he might also be needing someone to talk to.. just a thought. from a old man. mark

perceptivei · 36-40, F

@markansas I'm always nice. I don't think they know it though.

This wasn't my point.

[c=800000]No invitation is needed to attend the funeral service unless it is specified it is to be a private event. [/c]

@ProfessorPlum77 ok.

When my mum passed I invited the neighbours that she knew but not the others.
