    i havent had any experience in this but i dont think i would take her. i think it would be very overwhelming to see everyone so upset and she might get a little scared. maybe there is some other sort of ceremony that you could think of to have which will not shield her completely from understanding death but i dont know about going to a funeral. just my opinion of course.

    Yeah i agree with hollo and i think i would want her last memories be happy ones of your loved one. Just my opinion though. Sorry for your loss.

    when my grandmum passed away in july my sister took her oldest 8 to the veiwing so he could say goodbye he was extremely emotional about his GG dieing even though she had been unwell, he coped extremely well, when we went out to the car her not quite 4 year old had guessed where we were and wanted to say goodbye, he coped the best out of all of us, he told her he loved and her and said goodbye, all boys my 10mth old, her nealry 2yr nealry 4yr and just 8yr old went to funeral, her boys didn't come to the burial, but did wave goodbye to the hurse as it paused outside grandmums house (on route to cemetary)

    anyway long story short funeral yes, burial not so much

    :hugs: to you and your family
