[quote=Anonymous]First, I’m very sorry for your impending loss. Second, I think everyone should go to loved one’s funerals. If your kids had a close relationship with your dad, they should be there. However I do not think you should make them go to see the open casket—-leave that part up to them and tell them beforehand what it might be like so they go in knowing what to expect. I was an adult the first time I went to an open casket funeral (I had been to several funerals as a child but none of them were open casket) and it was disturbing. I wish I hadn’t looked in the open casket. And in general, give your kids a run down of what the whole funeral will be like as well as why it’s important to go even though it may be hard and uncomfortable. [/quote]
