I don't know why this happened to you (maybe it was an oversight, although it seems a big one). It's not uncommon though. None of my side of the family were invited to (or informed about) my great-grandfather's funeral. It only came out years later that there was a codicil in his will which said, "If you don't come to the funeral, you get nothing in inheritance". Families are sneaky.
Similarly, a friend died in mysterious circumstances a few months back. The family shut up shop and refused to tell anyone what was going on. When his body was released by the police, there was a quick funeral which nobody was invited to. We still don't know what's gone on.
dude I am so putting that in my will! it will be something like "if you don't come to the funeral, and don't let someone know the legitimate reason for the delay, then you don't get any inheritance
As long as you're aware that some of your family will neglect to tell the rest of your family that you are actually dead, so they get a bigger share of the booty. You could have a funeral attended by just one person.
Is it normal I wasn't invited to my best friend's funeral?
