GO. My mother has always said that even if you don't know the person? Go and support your husband or friend who could use a good shoulder. Go for your husband and not because you don't know the decease. The decease doesn't, she might, know you are there, but it the living that will remember who was there in their time of need. If anything? Go and enjoy the buffet they always have. The funeral I had? Was very upbeat and the widow very thankful to know her friends were there for her.
