After reading the various replies, I have decided to ask the pastor's wife-she will know the specific customs for this group of people. BTW I have new respect for ministers' wives,' the one I have been dealing with is an absolute gem.

Thanks for all your help! We are in the south, Methodist congregation, and I turned down the offer for a family meal. I just didn't want any surprises or 100 people showing up at my house with nothing to feed them. Reading about the various customs has been fascinating! Funny how some things stick. I haven't had a homeschooling thought since graduation but this site was the first I thought to ask!

A family member passed, and a memorial service will be held at their church. There will be no grave site service or actual burial at this loction. My question is, will the funeral goers expect to gather at the host's home after the funeral service? I am the host, have no experience with these sorts of things, so now Im here asking the wise ones for advice. I'd like to know whether or not I need to organise a post-service spread with food and drink at my house? (Please say no, please say no....) Btw, my former homeschool student, ds19, is doing great at university! We never think the homeschool days end, but they do. Thanks in advance for any help-funeral etiquette is not my strong suit.

My neutered cat gets ds16’s dirty clothes, drags them around the house while meowing constantly, then settles down and has an intimate session with them. He adores my 110-lb Great Pyrenees, and often tries to get romantic with the long fur at the end of her tail. “Big Fluffy,” just grumbles a bit and goes back to sleep.

I asked him to ask her; she said flowers would be great. -

No, they aren’t going to the dance together. He has a date to the dance, and she asked him to escort her for walkout knowing he already had a date. They have been good friends for several years, just never romantic. -

I just wanted to ask about protocol since they aren’t dating; I thought about it for awhile, read the advice given her, then trotted over to the florist. -

I ended up getting a lovely wrist corsage and bouquet; both are a combination of small white mums and white roses. Thanks for everyone’s help! -

Yes, typo, he is 15 about to turn 16. Thanks for catching that! -
DS13 was asked to escort the Homecoming Court Representative during the Walkout portion of Homecoming Dance. She is a lovely, accomplished, scholar-athlete, but does not have a Homecoming date, so she asked DS15 to escort her during walkout. He is not her date, but should he get the girl flowers or corsage for walkout? I am happy to do so, I just don’t know the correct protocol Uand I don’t know if flowers are normally presented to the court. I know it’s confusing; my guess is “if in doubt, get her flowers, but I sure would appreciate some advice in this matter.
