Funerals often bring out strong feelings in someone, be it grief, regret, confusion, a sense of duty, indifference, or even relief. Unfortunately, something may have been done during the deceased one's life by another person or persons that may have caused a falling out, and it may be so bad that they may not be allowed to attend their funeral due to either the loved ones barring them from attending or the decedent making some sort of declaration prior to their death about some not being allowed to come. It can also extend to those who may show up at the funeral and stay, but whose presence is clearly not welcome, be it those around them who feel this and/or they feel this way themselves. While this is usually a dramatic or sad trope, it can also be Played for Laughs if someone makes a dark request in the heat of the moment for someone not to attend their funeral (regardless if they're actively dying or not). Related to Last Disrespects. Can be a rather specific form of Get Out!. This could possibly invoke a feeling of Never Got to Say Goodbye. If plenty of people are ultimately barred from the event, then it could end up a Lonely Funeral. This is obviously Truth in Television. |

In the YA novel Tangerine, Paul's older brother Eric beats up Paul's friend Tino after Tino makes fun of him. Later, at Eric's football practice, Tino's older brother Luis comes to confront Eric about this. Eric orders his lackey to hit Luis in the head with a homemade blackjack. The blow gives Luis an aneurism, and he dies a few days later (but not before telling his family what happened). Paul knows what happened because he saw the whole thing, and Tino told all of his friends. As a result, even though they all know Paul didn't do anything, Tino requests that Paul not attend the funeral. | |

Knives Out: Harlan Thrombey was extremely close to his nurse Marta, to the point that he named her as his sole inheritor. Despite this, when Harlan dies his surviving family doesn't invite her to the funeral, only allowing family members to attend. Humorously, most of the family members Marta talks to claim that she's "basically part of the family" and that they wanted to invite her but got "outvoted". | |

Subverted on Coronation Street. In 2004, shortly after the death of his newborn son Billy, Todd Grimshaw (and to a lesser extent, his mother Eileen and brother Jason) was expected to stay away from the funeral due to feuding with his former fiancée and the child's bereaved mother, Sarah Platt, and her angry family. While he does eventually show up and many of the guests are shocked or grimace in response, Sarah's kid brother David shouts at him to leave and blames him for the death (as he had just come out as gay and was carrying on an affair with another man, which severely stressed Sarah out, albeit the pregnancy was already risky). While his family members broke up the fight, the Grimshaw family was allowed to stay as the other mourners gave them their privacy to say goodbye. | |

In the Brian Pillman episode of Dark Side of the Ring, Jim Ross briefly attended his funeral, as did a camera crew. While the crew tried to record his funeral as part of a Vince McMahon mandated storyline, Brian's older sister Linda specifically barred them from entering the ceremony. While Ross was able to say his private goodbyes, the cameras were not allowed. | |

The Golden Girls: Played for Laughs in the episode "The Heart Attack." Sophia (who believes that she is dying of a heart attack) requests to Dorothy not to allow an aunt to attend her funeral, citing how she will make the whole thing about herself. Subverted as she neither was dying nor was having a heart attack, but rather a gallbladder attack from eating too much. Discussed in "An Accurate Conception." When Blanche's daughter Rebecca admits that she's going to be artificially inseminated to have a baby, Blanche orders her to wait for both her and her friends are all dead, claiming that "the last thing I need is whispering at my funeral!" The trope is Played for Drama in "Ebbtide." Blanche gets a call from her father Big Daddy about coming to visit, but she's too interested in a festival she's organizing to go and blow him off—only to learn that Big Daddy was actually quite sick and wanted to see her before he died. When he does pass away, Blanche travels to Atlanta, where her sister Virginia calls her out for her selfishness and refusal to be there for her family, heavily insinuating that she shouldn't be at the funeral. Blanche angrily declares that she won't go, which leads to her having to say goodbye to Big Daddy in private and in turn realizing that she has been selfish. |
