Is It Acceptable To Go To A Funeral But Not The Wake?
21 Answers
It's the funeral of a very close family friend tomorrow and I know I'm going to be so upset. I am going to the funeral, but I wanted to miss the wake - but don't want this to be seen as disrespectful. The reason being that it's going to be a huge affair (hundreds of friends) and my they'll be primarily my mother's friends too... who passed away 8 years ago. It's going to bring a lot back. So I want to pay my respects at the funeral, but would it be disrespectful to miss the wake?

I do this quite often - it is the other way round people object to.
and yes ' I was too upset' is very acceptable
the first time I did this was a commemoration of a suicide and the orator said:
"and then of course as we know - the professor visited him and told him he would never work again !"
I was too upset to do anything besides drive home
