What is the proper etiquette for attending funerals? Getty Images

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My in-laws will attend the visitation of someone they’ve never met, and stay from beginning to end, only because they barely know a relative of the deceased. They will also go to the cemetery or mausoleum for the funeral itself, then return to the church for the meal -- but if the luncheon is served at the home of a family member, they go home.
