it would be disrespectful in my opinion to take them, not to mention if it's open Casket that could be emotionally damaging for them

Thank you. Our 4 year old is going through the ask alot of questions phase. I want to answer them all honestly but the middle of a funeral is not the place. My 1 yr old can't sit still and I feel like it would be disrespectful to be everyone if I was trying to keep him quite the whole timw

I didn't take my almost 3 year old to a funeral service. I think it's more respectful for everyone to not have small children at something like that, but that's my personal opinion.
