What should I do? My friend died and I have to go to his funeral but.....10 points?

I have school that day and I don't know if I should take the hole day off or if I should just go later but I don't know when the funeral will be done and if it would even be worth going and I don't know if there doing anything after the funeral. I would normally be at school 9;00 and ends at 5;00 and the funeral starts at 11;00 I never ben to one of these so i don't have any idea how long they last and if they do anything els after ( if this helps we were vary close friends and known each other are hole life). tyvm any other advice is welcome.

    Take the whole day off. Your emotions will be running high after the funeral so it will be best to just go home after the funeral and have some time alone. Missing one day of school usually isn't a big deal and most teachers understand that you had a funeral.

    I would take the whole day off because you probably will miss a lot of the day anyways and the funeral might go to 5. If you choose to not go for the whole day, have your parents write you a note to get out of class. Funerals last all different amounts of time, so I would ask your friend to see if they know what time the funeral ends. If you wear a uniform to school, bring a change of clothes. You will first probably go to the funeral home and then to the graveyard. Afterwards you might go to someone's house to eat food. That's how all the funerals I've been to went!

    A friend of mine just died too and I couldn't think of anything worse than not saying goodbye to him. Your school will understand. I also recommend taking off the whe day. I've been to three funerals in my life, and they're no fun. You'll probably feel awful afterwards and just want to curl up on the sofa, but you'll be happy later on that you went. I wouldn't lie to you. Sorry to hear about your loss X

    ingesting alcohol and smoking marijuana is the only component you probably did to make you experience or look like an fool. there is not any longer something incorrect approximately grieving the shortcoming of a pal or pal.
