    It isn't about you. Someone died, and you should respect however the grandmother wanted her funeral to go (or however her husband, who planned the funeral, wanted it to go).

    The only reason you would have to be mad, is if your boyfriend was the primary person in charge of the funeral, or if he put a bunch of his own money into paying for the funeral... In which case, yeah, you have a right to be mad. (Unless you were disrespectful to his grandma at some point- in which hypothetical case, it would be shame on you, that's why you weren't invited).

    So again, overall, you probably should let this one go unless you treated his grandma great and he put money into this funeral and yet still didnt invite you. But if he didnt control who was on the obituary, then you really can't complain. A funeral is about a nuclear family grieving. Yeah, usually wives are invited, but if they didnt invite peoples wives then that is just how it is. It really isnt your place to complain about a funeral of someone you werent blood related to.

    you were not a grand daughter there is no reason to list you in the obit. she was not survived by her grand sons wife. nobody sends out invitations to funerals

    People don't receive invites to funerals. As for the obit, a better question is why you think you should have been mentioned? It's common for spouses of kids to be named, but I've never seen an obit that lists spouse of grandkids.

    I was invited to someone's funeral because I wasn't aware she had died. The deceased daughter called me & told she would like for me to be there.

    Not sure why you were left out of obituary; I guess they figured because she isn't your grandmother.

    Since when must you be invited to a funeral? I'm sure you know why you feel left out. I'd suggest you amend the remaining relationships or let this go. You can't "do" anything other than change your behavior.

    Ignore it, it was not your grandmother, you were nothing to her.

    No one gets invited to a funeral....I'm confused. Left out if the obituary? That means your husband's family hates you and being very vocal about it. Unless all spouses were omitted....and it was a very small one to save money.

    If it were me? I wouldn't be going to any family functions if they did that intentionally.

    I didn't know anyone had to be invited to a funeral. Its not uncommon for names like your to be left out of obituaries and a lot of times even the grandchildren's names.
