Oh poor you, your friend and her family. Def attend the funeral if your friend is OK with it. Several of my friends came to my Dad's funeral or sent cards with lovely words in. It all makes a difference at the time and looking back afterwards. We went to a friend's Mum's funeral not long ago who I'd only met twice and he was grateful too.

I have spoken to the friend who let me know who has been friends with him for a lot longer. He said he hadnt even thought of going. But after wht I had said about Supporting our friend he would thik about it.
I havent heard fom any of the other friends etc so I suppose I am at a bit of a loss as to what others are doing.
I am obviously sending a card and as we are away have sent a text to see if they ned anything or if there is anything we could do.

Ugh so terribly sad.

I was really glad that my friends came to my mum's funeral. Even school friends I hadn't seen for a while.

When my mum died some of my sister's work friends came to her funeral. They didn't know mum that well, but they'd worked with my sister for years. Old neighbours, and customers from the pub where she'd worked as a barmaid came too and it was lovely to see how many people cared enough to come and say goodbye..

I'd say go.

Thanks I think we should go. H really thinks we should ask?

Please go. It was the loveliest thing in the world as I walked out of my dad's funeral, to see my friend sitting quietly in the back row. She had come over from Ireland without telling me.

A funeral is about the family of the bereaved as well as the person who has died, so I'm sure it will be so much appreciated if you attend.

?

I think it would be really lovely for you to go. That's what friends are for after all.

Hi,

My Dad's funeral was last Monday (also because of cancer) and having some of my friends there was a great support to me. As a family we have had so, so much support from all sorts of people from family and very close friends, to online friends of my Dad who had only met him once or twice - some never at all, and even a school friend of my brother's who we hadn't seen in 20+ years! It has been extremely comforting to realise not only how much my Dad was loved but how much the rest of us are loved too. Unless they specifically say it's a family only funeral I would definitely go as I suspect just knowing you are there would be more support and comfort than you'd realise.

My thoughts go out to your friend, I know what they are going through ❤️

Yes you should go to support your friend at this very sad time. I went to my friend's Dad's funeral although I had never met him, but I wanted to support her and her family and let them know that I was there for them and she really appreciated me being there.?

Thanks - I was just sat here thinking I would want them to be there if it was me. I know I would want all the support and love I could get.

Thinking of all of you who have shared and lost someone. I cant imagine what you are going through.
