I am SURE that person is equally afraid of every dead body. :scared:
With regard to people not related to him, he has the option
to attend or NOT to attend the funeral.So the person makes his choice
and DOEDS NOT attend the funeral.
With regard to his relatives, he has little choice. He /she is expected to turn up in the funeral. So forced to go against one's own wishes.
Mother's side may closer to the person than his father's side. I have seen it happen almost always.
Hence the selective phobia with restrictions, contraints and unseen strings.

Can anyone solve this mystery??
Ok you see there are people who are afraid of death and dead bodies.So funerals make them very uneasy.
Going by that shouldn't every funeral make them uneasy?
You see cos I know a person who does not even want to attend funerals of people who are not related by blood and dare not see any dead body who is not the person's relative.
The person cites fear of dead bodies and fear of death.
But how come the person is not afraid of dead bodies who are his/her blood relatives?
That too only not afraid of the maternal dead relatives but afraid of paternal dead relatives!!
How can a phobia be so so selective???
Any comments?
