My mom's funeral when she was 7 months and my godmother's at 16 months. Both went surprisingly well, though of course she didn't understand what was happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482091 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 19:34:43 +0000 regberadaisy 2482091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for your loss. :heart: </p> <p>DD1 has but she was much younger and we kept her away from the casket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482079 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 19:29:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 2482079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the service for my grandmother. I would not be ok at all with LO attending an open casket service, and especially not with someone taking LO up close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482061 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 19:13:04 +0000 petunia354 2482061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. I'm not sure how he would handle it. I'm guessing it would still go over his head at this point! We'd probably explain it exactly how you did.</p> <p>Hugs to you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482046 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:58:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2482046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. I missed a funeral last year because DD2 was nursing and would have had to come with me. It was for a colleague that lost his young daughter. I didn't want to cause additional grief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482042 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:57:35 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2482042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS went to a funeral and wake when he was 4.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482031 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:48:36 +0000 deerylou 2482031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She went to a memorial service at 7 months, and a very small wake at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482028 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:46:31 +0000 FaithFertility 2482028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD went to the wake at 6 months old! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482010 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:31:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 2482010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but he was too young to really understand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2482009 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:31:12 +0000 Eko 2482009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

My dad died last year and we had a wake for him but not a funeral. Lukas did great, but he was so young that I don't think he really understood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2481966 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:48:54 +0000 chopsuey 2481966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>❤️</p> <p>No funerals yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2481964 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:48:33 +0000 FancyGem 2481964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but my son was so young that he didn't really know what was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-been-to-a-funeral#post-2481956 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:42:50 +0000 mrsjyw 2481956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's grandmother passed away last weekend and we just got back from a viewing and the funeral the last two days (out of town). All things considered it went well and both DSs (3 yo and 7 months) did fine during the service, meal, and visit the day prior. We're a Christian family and explained to DS1 that great grandma went to heaven to be with God/Jesus and we were saying our prayers and goodbyes to her. </p> <p>The only unexpected part was that FIL took DS1 up to the open casket, which wasn't my preference. But that thankfully went ok as well and he was ok with Fil's explanation that Ggma was in a deep sleep to go meet with God. </p>
