ST: I know this is a touch subject but I got the details about the "funeral services" for my friend

In case you didn't read the other day. A friend of mine committed suicide the other day, and I was notified the day after by his roommate, who is one of my good friends as well.

The service is being held Saturday at 10am near Philly (his hometown). The service and the funeral are both private and the roommate/ friend asked if we could go, to which the father said yes. He said only the closest friends though.

Besides myself and the roommate, only like 3 of our other friends know that this has occurred. The parents seem to not want anyone to know, and have made it clear they don't want a crowd showing up. And that they don't really want other people knowing. Isn't that slightly awkward? I mean there's a very good chance his name will come up and friends will be like I wonder how he is, what should I say to that?

I know I'm just ranting, but I'm sure how I feel about this. But obviously it is much harder for them, and their choice.
