What age is appropriate for a child to attend a funeral?

Grandparent, it wasn’t unexpected and they saw them a few times a year.

primary school and sensitive. Please let me know any advice on what age this is appropriate.

many thanks

Please at lest take them to the wake. I had a very hard time processing that my grandad was dead as I wasn't allowed to the funeral or wake at 10 years old.

Both my children have been to funerals, DS as young as 16 months. Unfortunately DD had to deal with a friend passing away at just 15 years of age. I'm glad that wasn't her first funeral. DS is quite sensitive as well but I still took him to his great grandma funeral at that age and the kids where probably closer to her then their grandparents. He cope absolutely fine with it, although I had prepared the children on what to expect.
