Sometimes there are etiquette questions that can't be answered.
Like, for instance, if you are at a baseball game and you have to get up to go to the bathroom, do you push past the people in their seats with your butt facing them or with your crotch towards them? Which is more polite?
One friend once asked me: “How late can you arrive at a funeral before it’s considered rude?”
I think with funerals you pretty much have to be on time.

That decision would depend on if it's #1 or #2, I would think.
And, it doesn't matter if you are late for a funeral - the most important party won't notice either way.
Thanks for weighing in.
You are probably right about the funeral, as long as you don't stumble in drunk. Then the family might be upset, and not just about the being late.
I tend to turn a different way depending on if it's a guy or a girl...or how close I have to get to them to pass.
I generally stick towards the butt towards their face rule, regardless.
