Is it appropriate to go to a Stranger's Funeral?

Question

Ok, this lady have given some stuffs for free (I do not know her) and her husband passed away, is it weird or in appropriate if I go to her Husband's Funeral? I am a cry baby so I will be crying if I go...

Answer 1

Sure... Many people do if they are touched by something they have heard or read about someone. The only time I'd say no is it is specifically designated as private.

Answer 2

If I understand your question, you're asking if it's okay to go to a funeral for the husband of a woman who has been kind to you.  If you are going in support of this woman and out of respect for her kindness toward you, then by all means go.

But if you are going in the hope that you will get more "stuffs for free", then it would be most inappropriate to attend.

Answer 3

Well I would bring her an appropriate gift if you knew her only because she gave you some stuff for free (assuming she was giving you a gift, and not just tossing stuff on you she didn't want). That is, if you go. Stranger or not, it'd be a nice thing for you to show up. A couple people might be bothered by your presence, but that's their problem for being judgmental- after all, how would they know whether or not you know anyone there? It good to show you care.

Remember, you never have to be close to someone to show care, sympathy or empathy.

Answer 4

Since she gave you some stuff, I think it would be ok for you to go to show your support for someone who helped you out by giving  you some free stuff. You don't know her that well, but you are showing that you appreciate her act of kindness enough to support her in her time of need.
