What is good funeral etiquette for me, Im the fiancee of the grandfathers (who passed on) grandson?
I was just asking about funeral etiquette myself. I was in the opposite position as you. My grandfather died last week and someone who didn’t know him was wanting to come to the funeral. I know you love and want to support your fiance, but be as respectful as you can. You didn’t know the man and are not yet part of the family. Don’t sit with the family or stand under the burial tent with them. Even if they ask you to be with them, thank them and tell them you’re fine sitting with the rest of the supporters. You’re a grown woman and you can be separated with your fiance for a few hours. You’ll be with him during the dinner that follows. If they insist you sit with them, politely do so, but please don’t wait for or anticipate their insistence. Being with your fiance during his time of need is one thing, but pretending to be an equal member of a grieving family is disrespectful.
