Just honestly, maybe even akwardly if you need to be, tell him how much you actually like him. You may feel stupid when you say it, but if he does unfortunately pass away, then at least he knows how you feel, and that he has a real true friend. And I'm sure that he'll love hearing that he's really appreciated and respected. Good luck!

There's nothing you can say that will really make your friend feel better so - just LISTEN.  \n\nJust being there with someone in mourning makes a huge difference.

Ask the undertakers/funeral managers...they should know.

People have a funeral to remember you, hopefully they'll say good things about you, and that's it. No afterlife, no heaven, no hell. Just the world going on without you.\n\n\nLong Live Jambi

Wow, that's a heavy one... but here goes:\n\nI'd like to tell my cousin that while it's great to have her company in our group I'm aware she doesn't like my partner and that she's talking about him to all our freinds. It's childish, it's creating a negative atmosphere and I REALLY don't appreciate it.\n\nI'd like to tell my boss that while I appreciate the lovely presents he brought me back from holiday he never once thanked me for running his hellish company for a month while he was sunning himself on the Brazilian coast in his budgie smugglers. I think this is rude and unappreciative.\n\nI'd like to tell a female friend of mine that I am in awe of her wonderful personality and that she is a fantastic representative for women everywhere. She is intelligent, kind, feminine, perceptive and has a very successful career. I'm very glad she's my friend.\n\nI'd like to tell an online friend of mine that I very much appreciate his friendship and, while I have a plethora of wonderful friends, it's not everyday you meet someone half a world away that you can have quite a special connection with. I always look forward to his emails and hope someday to catch up with him in Tulsa.\n\nI got a lot off my chest - thanks Sunset!

I would say to do what you feel is right! If you feel that you should be at his funeral to show respect and to put closure then by all means be there. Hopefully though this will not happen.

When my mother passed away....\n"Remember each time you look into the mirror you will not be far from your mother because she is part of you."

I went to a funeral service for a man who was cremated once.  They had the urn on a table with a nice photograph of him with it.  It was a lot like a regular funeral.

Well here's an idea don't act so enwrapped to the relationshiop with him.  HIS DAD JSUT DIED you want to show you like him so show some comapssion towards the expired body.  You want to start talkin to him Start like this:\nHey i heard what happened to your father are you alright?\nHim: yea im getting over it.\nyou: wanna discuss it? \nHim: no i dont\nyou: well you should be at peace before you go on. What was he like? \nthen he'll tell you or cry i dunno \nthis only workd if you dont know his father otherwise itll seem obnoxious.

Sounds a little fishy to me, however, if it is a close relative or someone they really cared about they might realize that person would be gone forever, and needed that time to deal with the reality of it all.  When my sister died I didn't want to leave her side at the funeral home because I had lost my best friend, and I was so distraught I wanted to be near her as long as possible.

Death of a person should be a joyous occasion because hopefully the person is going to a better live.  Being in the presence of God.  We cry because we'll miss the person and have great memories of them.  Funerals are homegoing celebrations.

It really depends on the beliefs of the individual. If they are religious, talk to them about their beliefs about the afterlife. If they are worried about how their actions in life may affect their disposition after death, recall for them (if possible) their good works and deeds. If they believe in God, remind them of the principles of divine forgiveness. If they're not religious, ask them about their beliefs. Reassure them of their impact on your life. If you're there at their bedside, I assume they've touched you somewhat, somehow.\n\nThis is not a time to hold a grudge. If you have a disagreement with them, try to forgive. Remember you will have to live with yourself after the other person is gone. Let them know you will remember them fondly. Recall good times with them to help ease their pain.
