Your sister is a horrible person.

I don't go look at the bodies at funerals and Ive never taken my kids up to look. I might look at my immediate family but no one else. I don't agree with the desperate clinging to the body but don't openly judge anyone. I have been judged for not doing it - like it's some insult not to gawk at a dead person. I would have told sister to stay away from my kids at that moment at the funeral. No discussion - she would just be told to keep her distance.
