Ah. It sounded like a hypothetical question in the OP - I didn't realise your mother had really passed. Let me add my condolences to Idle's.As a piece of advice... I know you have your reasons for not going, but personally I think you should consider it anyway. People tend to regret the things that they didn't do, rather than those they did. Your mum's funeral isn't something you want to regret missing - just remember that you may feel very, very differently about all this in future.That being said, if you still decide to not go, it's extremely admirable that you're able to stand your ground on this and follow your own principles. Good on you, hon.EDIT: Don't want this to come off like I'm trying to debate the morals of it with you. It's intended as a piece of... food for thought, I suppose. For your sake.

That's a good point.
