Preparing To Greet People At The Funeral
If there will be a lot of people in attendance at the funeral or only a small group, you should be prepared to say hello to people and respond to people’s condolences. While you may want to have long conversations with some people, with others you may simply want to thank them for coming, and this is perfectly acceptable. You are also not expected to have a conversation with everyone in attendance. If you are expecting a large turnout, consider setting out guestbook that people can sign so that you can know who was in attendance.
