Should I go to a classmate's funeral?

Thanks heaps, everyone who answered. I’ve decided I am going to go.

Thats really sad I experienced the same thing with a guy I sat next two in chem class who was murdered when someone struck him in the back of the head at a party.I think it was one of the worst things that has ever happened. It was such a akward experience but honeslty it’s good closure to attend his funeral. Do it for her and all the people who need you there

Awuh thats really sad; 3 of my friends died last school year; one in april;& 2 in may; one got hit by a 18wheeler & 2 in a car wreck. funerals are really sad but u wld look back at this day & b like I wishi did go

it would be nice to go. honor her , besides you’d feel guilty later if you didn’t go

if youre feeling uncomfortable about the funeral, maybe you could just send her family a sympathy card saying how much she will be missed at school and other nice things about her. that would be a way to show respect AND avoid your own personal discomfort.

well it would be nice if you went and you could wear something black and then geans or something, but I am sure the family or her friends would apreishiat you comeing I hope everything turns out alright

just go to pray for the girl, and show respect to her parents. and maybe it also just gives you time to talk to god, and talk to god. it would be a good idea if you do go.

There’s only one funeral for each one of us, that is, when we do end in a cemetery. If you don’t attend that funeral, you may regret it afterwards, for years and years, for a lifetilme, maybe. Think of your friend who died, think of her friends, relatives, of her parents and brothers/sisters. It’s not a ball, it’s an au revoir.

Black clothes and a white touch, make it gloves or shirt.

you shouldnt go If you feel uncomfortable its better to remeber them as they were alive.

I suggest that you go to the funeral even do you are uncomfortable… You don’t have to stay long just give the respects to the parents and dont over react… I think you should wear traditional black , probably most of the people that go are going to be like that so you’ll blend in and not stand out… good luck with that..

The funeral was sad.
