Dh's Nanna passed away today. Unfortunately Dh is overseas with his job at the moment and wont be here for the funeral. He really wants me to go in his stead but I obviously have 3 kids to worry about. If its a weekend I have babysitting available to be able to go solo but if its weekday (and my inlaws are trying hard to make it a weekend) then Im stuck. Aside from splitting up the kids if I can find friends to take them I have no other option but to take them.

Whats the etiquette for kids and funerals? I can remember attending funerals quite young of family members. Is it a immediate family kids only? Is it no kids at all for the service? No kids at all period? Im happy to try and book a hotel with babysitting if I have to.
