Dear Queenie,
There are some people I would rather not have come to my funeral when I die.
Queenie, should I make a list of the people I don’t want there and keep it with my will?—Looking ahead
Dear Looking ahead,
People go to a funeral both to pay respects to the deceased and to offer condolences and comfort to those left behind. I hope you will give the latter reason the consideration it deserves.
The funeral announcement can indicate who will be welcome at the service and who can be contacted for further information.
