Everyone goes to the funerals of close friends and family. As you get older, there will be so many occasions where someone who you aren't close to passes away: a former co-worker who you have lost touch with, the younger brother of a friend from high school who you barely remember, or the dad of a college roommate you haven't seen since graduation. Go to all of these visitations if you can. It's good for the family and it's good for you. I have seen decades-old grudges dissolved in 30 seconds by this gesture. People are at their weakest when a loved one dies and the gratitude they feel when people take the time to pay their respects will last for the rest of their lives. My mom and dad are both gone and I can recall every single person who took the time to show up and pay their respects. It's powerful.

I remember all of the random people that showed up to my dad’s funeral and the one-off stories they shared with me about how they knew him. One old lady had a flat tire in the bank parking lot and he changed it for her. Small town America. She would see him at the store or pharmacy for years and thank him.

this thread has inspired me to do this multiple times. Best experience was nervously attending the funeral of dude's dad who I had beef with after high school and hadn't spoken to in forever (the kid not the dad). Anyways, the gratitude you could see on that guy's face when I showed up was something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Thanks to the immortal Yanagita for making this thread. This is something a younger person simply cannot understand on their own.
