    Hi all, Would a witness in good standing attend the funeral of a disfellowshipped/disassociated witness if the family members of the deceased were still in good standing in the congregation?

    Yes, they can. This is probably another one of those "conscience" things, but I have seen family friends of

    df'd wtinesses attend their funeral.

    I went to a funeral where a df'd jw committed suicide. All the family were jws in good standing. The talk was given by a brother at the funeral home. Many jws and non-jws attended. It all depends on the body of elders and the area.
