Looking beyond human emotion of hatred

Whenever a person dies the mind ejects to one thing - the relationship shared by that person with the people who surrounded him,how he was with his loved ones and with his enemies.
When one day,abruptly that person will depart from the shell of the world and move to infinity then are the grudges,fights,hatred worth keeping?Whole our life we keep meeting people-few become best friends,few become "just friends",few become good friends but less talked to and there are few people who become enemies whom we keep hating to the last breath of our lives.
If we sincerely look at this,couldn't we have converted those enemies into peaceful fellow humans if not being friends with them?So that if we get to see them next time,by chance,then we could bid "hi-bye" to them instead of giving the "bad damn look" to them.
Though I know that love,affection,anger are the emotions that are embedded in human self but HATRED is one aspect that can be worked upon or rather must be worked upon.
When one day ,in a jiffy,a person leaves this world then why not bid peaceful 'hi-byes' to the "so called" enemies.
Recently,I lost one of my relatives and this prompted me to think about the relation he shared with his brother's sons-it was miserable.They used to hate each other like hell and always used to talk ill about each other.So the 3 thoughts or rather questions that crossed my mind after hearing about that person's death were-
1) What was the meaning of hating someone when it was not forever(because life has taken that hatred off now)?
2)Will the 'brother's sons attend the funeral or will they keep strong their hatred and not be a part?
3)What will be their mindset while attending it?That the person with whom they shared the cold vibe  is lying cold in front of them.
Thankfully, I got the answer to my second question-they did attend the funeral and actually did maximum work i.e all the work that is done before the cremation  takes place.
