re: What is proper Funeral Etiquette?

I'm going to the funeral of my coworker's 3 children Thursday. The funeral and site of the burial are like 45 minutes apart. I work the night before(staying up after work to attend funeral at 10 am) and have to be back that night as well. I'm only attending the funeral and not the burial. Think that is ok?

Absolutely. In Columbus we only have two places a Catholic would likely be buried. Most burials are a 30-45 minute drive to the south of Columbus. Skipping the burial is very common, especially if you don't know the family well.
