I'm going to be a pallbearer at my brothers funeral on Saturday. I want to know how much I can carry. If I can do it.

Everyone's situation is different so you should Call and ask your surgeon. I'm so sorry about your brother.

Can you walk along with 5 others as a not-much weight bearing person in the middle? I know this is important, but you need to stay healthy during this difficult time. (I'm sorry for your loss ).

Sorry for your loss.

I would say you should rest, but I'm sure it's an emotional time (and an emotional event) for you.
Perhaps allow the others to do the hoisting when the casket is being lifted up. That way you won't jar anything.
You can join in the shoulder-carry.
If you feel any pain, its advisable to stop.
Don't take pain killers before carrying so you will know if you're overdoing things.
