[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just came from a funeral where toddlers were present and honestly, unless the deceased is the toddler's parent, I don't see a reason for them to go.

No matter how much the parents tried, all of them were disruptive at one point or another.

Plus, they really were a distraction even during the viewing the evening before the funeral service. Out of town relatives were understandably excited to see the toddlers and doting on them. This made some of the toddlers ham it up even more and act out for attention.

A funeral isn't a place for toddlers or even younger kids who have issues being quiet and sitting still for at least 30 mins.  [/quote]

Why does everyone think that traveling with small children on a funeral trip means they must attend a funeral? We had this situation, and preschooler and toddler twins made the trip, but were left with a sitter for the funeral, itself.  Maybe DH wants his children near him so that he can have moments with his future, not dwelling 24/7 on what will never be again.[/quote]

+1 the toddlers don't have to be at every event but they can still make the trip since that is what DH wants[/quote]
