Do you attend patient funerals?

I hear mixed reviews on this. Discuss. :)

My uncle died after 9 weeks in CCU. Not only did his favorite nurse from his cardio's office come to the visitation, two of the nurses from the hospital came by also--one still in scrubs after getting off work. They came on their own, not forced to by the hospital, and it really touched the family that he had made such an impact that they would take the time to pay their respects that way. Nicole and Jessica and Liz had done so much for so long, and it was nice to also be able to thank them for everything they'd done. It was a long, roller coaster, heart-breaking ride, and they were amazing.
