Thoughts on taking a two and a half year old to a funeral

[Gogwuh]

What are people’s views on this? It will be really difficult to manage her there but is it right for my daughter to attend her great grandmothers funeral or better to stay at home with her and DH to attend.

You’re acting like your 13 year old 🤷‍♀️

I wouldn't take her. You have said she would be difficult to manage. You won't be able to concentrate on the service as you will just be thinking of her. Also I think it's a bit younger to attend something like that.

I wouldn't as I feel it could be rather disrespectful to people who want to hear the eulogy/tributes and grieve. They only have half an hour during most services, at the end of someone's life, to absorb that time and process the death; and a toddler would have me enraged if they interrupted that very special, private time.
