Going to a family only (I will be the only outsider) funeral. Never met the family. Planning to take a sympathy gift (wind chimes and card) for the bereaved person. Would that be appripiate?

I would feel awkward and out-of-place.

Forgot to mention. I was specifically invited by the family.

Think you are very thoughtful.

[jubilant]

Personally, I would respect the family wishes.

If you were invited by the family I don't see why it wouldn't be appropriate to attend the funeral.

If you were invited by the family then it's not inappropriate.

i've never heard of a sympathy gift, but beyond that, since you're invited, I don't understand your misgiving on attending>

Why @deepwaterdotter she clearly said the family invited her. She is asking if the card and wind chime is appropriate.

I guess I didn't explain it correctly! My bad! 

i was specifically invited but I've never met the rest of the family. I would never go somewhere uninvited! LOL I was asking more if the gift is appropriate. Sorry about the confusion!
