Recently a friends parent died. I never met the parent but I'm Obviously friends with the daughter and will of course pay my respects. I'm Going to both wake and funeral next day but tbh only because I feel I must/ should. I hate wakes , ( who enjoys them) don't know anyone but my friend, have no religious or personal…

Well it seems people are making that choice. Why? Possibly its seems more personal.
But its a free choice, both equally fine.

Time to grow up.

What exactly is your problem? Have you any contribution other than totally mis reading the op and giving two sentence condescending instructions to a question nobody asked!?

Oh and I buried my mother when I was twelve so i'd say I ' grew up ' plenty before you came along with your pearls of wisdom about what to do in the face of bereavement thanks.
