Is it very rude, not to be notified about a death in the family or the funeral arrangements?

yes because as part of the family you need to be notified and not find out about it in the last minute.
Yes. Why are you asking?
The lines of communication can get blurry with a death. The people closest to the deceased are just not up to making alot of calls, and will often ask others to pass the word. Perhaps you got lost in the phone tree.
yes.
Yes, I think it is VERY rude...and it happens in my family all the time. Can't tell you how many funerals I've missed, because no one told me that a loved one passed.
Yes, that is very rude.
It would be inconsiderate but not rude IF it is an IMMEDIATE family member. If it is a distant cousin or relative, then it's less imperative that you be notified. A death in the family is a very traumatic loss and family members have so much to do choosing the funeral home, casket, funeral arrangements, payment for funeral and headstone. It is so easy to overlook someone by accident. Don't take offense if you were overlooked; had you been an immediate family member who had close contact with the family, you would have been notified.
EXTREMELY rude! My ex was not informed that the MOTHER OF HIS CHILD had passed away and they had already had the SERVICE until after 2 weeks! Whatever the reason for not being informed, all grudges need to be put aside when it comes to death. Everyone has the right to mourn.....AND be informed! Surely in a time of sadness, some family members might be forgotten with all that is going on.....but word usually spreads to a good majority. If this has happened to you, I am truly sorry. Just understand that whoever has passed away KNOWS you love them regardless of attending a funeral =) They're in heaven-----they could honestly care less!
Yes, it is rude. However, there are several factors involved that you should consider yourself lucky. If the deceased family member passed without a will or insurance, this would be fortunate for you since you can claim yourself a non-participant member of the family which would release you from any obligations financially and other decisions.
