No I won't be going at all unless it is a absolute necessity
Funerals are about the only thing I can tolerate. Someone needs a shoulder to cry on I can bite my tongue for an hour or two. Weddings or church are boring and unimaginative and needlessly suck resources from people. Not that funerals don't.
But seriously, if it bothers you that much, you simply need a plan. You sound like you don't want to do this year after year. You don't have to be mean about it, but try to explain to your family you love them, but that is simply not your thing.
