You should probably go, you don't want to regret not going in the future.

Definatly.

Just go or it will be on your mind for years to come.

Its obviously going to be hard for you but you can come through it, i have been to two funerals (Grandparents) and they were the most difficult times of my life but i managed to get through it. Take tissues and be there for his/her family.

Cheers guy, changed my mind completely! Guess I'll have to get to bed. Thanks!

You really should go, because if you passed away and one of your good friends didn't turn up because they didn't feel it, or they were scared/didn't want to be upset, I think if you could somehow know that they didn't go, you would be slightly frustrated, and if you respected your friend enough there should be no question about going or not, the same as me, a family member passed away, I didn't like the person, because of things that he had tried to do to split my family up, but out of respect I went, I was upset anyway, because everything is sad, the feeling in the church/where the ceremony is, its weird, cold and its like constantly having goose-bumps.. sorry long explanation, just wondering why you would question you going or not x

Its gonna be hard for anyone to go but its best to go or you will probably regret it later best to say your goodbyes and show your support

R.I.P

OP: I think you should go, it's a good way to honor your friend, and what they lived for. Best of luck, and my regards.

Never really understood the reasoning behind funerals. No, I don't mean the memorial and burying of the person. I'm questioning why Funerals are meant to be a depressing, sad time. For example: You're questioning going to a funeral. Why is this? It's because of the stereotypical funeral. A depressing time to cry, and get all worked up.

People should be remembered for what they did, not what they are. It should be a time of enjoyment, not because they're dead obviously, but to celebrate the person for what they did in life. What they accomplished, how they lived, why they lived. I think that's what they should be about, not depression over the loss of someone. My two cents.

Don't forget that many people pass away before their time, it's not nice when someone is taken by something such as cancer, I've only ever attended a single funeral where someone has died with age being one of the major causes.
