No people should not be required to RSVP but as a matter of courtesy they should say whether they are able to attend or not.

Caterers must be accustomed to potentially too many or too few turning up. I suspect this one will be quite well attended but it's in the middle of the day in the middle of the working week so maybe younger people won't be able to make it or only to the actual service rather than the reception after it. Will have to wait and see.

I think it's a new thing. If your friend assumes most of the people she's told about the funeral and the wake will come, she won't go far wrong.

I've not come across this before but it must be difficult to know how many to cater for if you've no idea whose coming.

Just wondering about this. A friend is stressing as people have not let her know whether or not they plan to attend her husband's funeral. I know she is going through a ghastly time and seems to be fixating on this a little. Obviously, there are catering requirements to consider. I've never been aware of having to let people know you're going to attend. Maybe that's just me though. Is this a new thing?
