[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask the children. I was about 7 when my grandmother died. I was asked if I wanted to go and said no. It felt good to have the power to make this decision, even though it felt strange to be the only one who didn’t go. I’ve attended funerals as an adult since then and there are a couple of images in my head I wish I didn’t have, but at the same time it is part of life. Just let them make the decision.[/quote] I vote let them decide. Personally, I dislike funerals. I don’t find them to provide any peace or closure- rather they are sad and awkward. And open casket, no way. Seeing someone I knew and cared for lifeless with face paint on in a box is not closure for me[/quote]
