How to deal with family conflicts at funerals

Having a death in the family is never easy. Over the grief and the sorrow at the loss of a loved one, sometimes unscrupulous family members try to take advantage of the weakness of the close family of the deceased to wash some dirty laundry or even gain material advantage. When life insurance, material property and liquidities are involved, sometimes unfortunate things can happen, especially if the amounts are high. How do you, as a close family member, deal with those people who try to take advantage of the situation either to start conflicts or to gain money out of the succession?

Most people who become hard to deal with after someone’s death are only so because of grief. Focusing on the material things or in conflicts latent in the family makes them forget about their grief. However, for others who are trying to heal, it is not easy to be around them.
