A Dear Abby advice column featured on Syracuse.com discusses a reader who is confused by a friend’s practice of attending funerals for people the friend did not know.
The brief description of the column does not provide the reader’s or friend’s name, explain how often the friend attends such services, or say how the reader learned about the practice. It also does not include the advice column’s response or explain what prompted the reader to write.
