[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Yes, this was more of an etiquette question. Specifically because the 5 year old will have some very serious questions for me after said funeral. I am fine with that and will be prepared. The 3 year old will likely walk into the room and loudly ask if he's sleeping. Anyway, neither of my parents would ever in a million years ask me to take my kids to any of their cousins funerals. MIL likely wants to show off the only grandchildren she has that would ever in a million years attend. We're her only hope for support immediate family support. I really like the sentiment of teaching the kids that we "show up." Regardless, I told DH this is totally his call and I will support whatever he decides. Thank you[/quote]

I'm the 'show up' pp and FWIW if you are referring to the wake I don't think you need to take the kids to that. The reception that everyone's talking about is the most important.

But if you're talking about the ceremony really don't worry. My daughter was like 18 months when my grandmother had her funeral and towards the end they said something like,  "let's join Mary on the journey to her final resting place with a moment of silence" and my daughter let out the loudest squawk. People loved it it was moment of levity[/quote]
