At the time of the funeral I'm uncertain to what extent I should pay my respects. I'm certainly going to go but not certain for how long or the entire service up and through the burial.

This reminds me of the movie "That Awkward Moment".

I don't think I would go. You're not exclusive at this point. Are the other guys she's dating going to show up as well? Maybe send flowers and something nice to her house to show you're thinking of her.

be there for her in the days leading up.
do not presume to attend at all, unless she asks you to do so.
Listen and learn how she feels about death, dying, her dad.
say nothing. be a very very good listener.

Exactly.
And no one ever goes to Sammy's anymore. It's too crowded.

If you have feelings for her, then now is a time she needs people who care. The funeral is not for the dead dude, it is for those left. It is a monumental time in her life. But if she don't give a shite for you, she will hate you hanging around!

Send flowers to visitation or wake, so that she knows you care and then use the below line.
Flowers before asking will reinforce your compassion and won't be seen as a makeup if she takes the question the wrong way and you send after.

Go...and knock over the casket.

Go and read her cues. If she wants you to stay, you'll know it. If the burial is family only, you'll know it.

yeah you need to go but keep in mind there may be about 3 other dudes there in the same boat as you.

If you like this girl, go. Even if it's just as a friend, I'd go to it all.

Next time you kiss your mom, you might not want to do it on her mouth.
I won't either, for the record.

My wife and I had just started dating, about 6 weeks, when her grandfather died rather unexpectedly. I had only met her family once. I told her whatever she needed, I would do. They did everything in one day, so I took day off of work. I pretty much stood in the background all day. Several times her parents asked me to help with this or that, which I did.
She asked me to sit with her at the Mass, which I did. Otherwise, I just kind of let her have her space.

Wow, you sound like husband material.
How about take your cues from her and not a fricking message board?
Speaking of message board advice, I need help setting up my retirement and 401(k)... Who do I see about that?
