Just seeking opinions.
my brother passed away.
however, my closest best friend did not turn up for the wake.
he was free.
not even a text message to send his condolence.
i was very surprised and shocked.
should i ask him or just let things be the way it is?
frankly, this has affected my level of faith and trust and friendship with him.
please speak frankly.

No big deal. During good times, your friends know you. During bad times, you know your friends.

Having said that, I know of some people, being extremely superstitious, will not attend wake of friends etc.

Do not judge a person based on one incident.

You say he is a close friend, then you must have know him for a long time. Judge him based on those years instead.

Maybe he doesn't even know about the death?

Wakes are overrated. It's another stupid Chinese way to flaunt wealth: material wealth and social wealth.

I would very much prefer the Muslim way: no fuss, no muss, no wakes, no bands, dead and buried on the same day.

Maybe your friend "pantang", believes he cannot get involved with 白事。
My mom's wake was held during CNY period, many of my good friends never showed up.
