I would say no it isn't too young. Kameron went to his first funeral when I was 6wks pregnant with Lachlan. So he would have not long turned 2. He didn't play up or anything.

I would be inclined to say - yeah let her go. I'm not sure if she would be traumatised by the crying etc, it may be part of the cycle for her to witness and absorb. I dunno about the coffin lowered into the ground thing though - it may be a little to hard for her to understand but you would be the best judge of that.
You can always skip the graveside service and straight to the wake - it may give her time to debrief to you before the next stage.
I think it would be lovely for all those attending to be able to see Gabby running around, I'm sure her Baba told everyone she knew all the Gabby stories, and flashed photos everywhere.
If there is 500 people there, in years to come Gabby will remember how many people came to say goodbye to Baba. I bet she'll take it all in her stride and make some people smile on a sad day.
I hope your coping ok. xoxoxox
