Miss Manners: My in-laws attend funerals of people they’ve never met and stay for hours

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.
