My families big experience with the Mormon Church has rather poor. In 2001, my little sister’s kindergarten teacher died. My parents wanted to go to the funeral, but they couldn’t go for most of the service, because they weren’t Mormon.

My family tends to have a very poor view of Mormons because of this. How poor? We have a Border Collie at home. Whenever a missionary comes to the door, my dad usually lets the dog, which is very territorial, out the door. My mom will usually try to stop my dad’s impulsiveness. But she takes no action when this circumstance happens.

I feel neutral on my family’s actions.

As I’ve mentioned before, LDS funerals are not closed to non-LDS people as a matter of practice.

Families can make funerals private, which is undoubtedly what happened, but that’s just them, not an LDS practice.
