brit, my Dad wouldn't be able to attend the funeral anyway. As i mentioned my Grandma use to live in a different city. And there was no way my Dad could make 2-3 hours flight, considering his post-heartattack condition. It could upset him even more. So i think it was the only right decision, to hold it till he gets better..
