would it be rude if I didn't go to my moms grandmas funeral ?

It would not be rude, but don't you want to support one of your parents loss of their mother?

When my grandmother died we traveled 6 hours to her funeral one day. It was a long trip to and from. We did spend overnight at a hotel, but it was a long trip. Not to mention I got car sick on the way back.

Just keep busy in the car. Ask the driver to take a few pit stops along the way to use the bathroom or stretch. Bring a book, i pod, i pad, sleep in the car, bring a dvd to watch a movie.

Yes, it would be very rude if you didn't attend. The fact that you didn't know her well is even more of a reason to pay respects to your genetic grandmother. You are doing it for mom and other relatives that also support elders. If you had a real good excuse for not attending I would have considered that but you don't. This might also give you some insight on your grandmother and her life. Perhaps you will meet some distant cousins and other relatives that would start a new family connection for you. This is an experience and you should treat it in as positive a way as possible to support your mother. Enjoy the drive from New York to Alabama. It should also be filled with some unique experiences as well.

i will see the innocence of the question: what do human beings positioned directly to funerals? thats large to ask in a typical way. If the grandma is your mom's mom, then it truly is truly useful to contemplate how your mom would have a great variety of mixed thoughts approximately your grandmother's ailment and available drawing close dying. it truly is the only mom she's ever had, so be delicate to her thoughts.

Not really, It would be good to talk to your mother & explain. She might not mind & understand after-all she knows you never knew her. You might miss meeting family members you've never met before & might want to keep in touch. Just discuss it with your mother & if it's ok, ask her to send an Obituary.

She's one of your family member. Your elder. Your great grandmother's funeral. Of course you should go to show respect although you don't know her really well. Good luck ~

If you did not know her well, then, no, it would not be rude, but if you were close with her, then, yes. Even if you did not like her much, it would be supportive to your family members mourning of the loss.

If it's going to upset your mother that you don't attend it is.
