A child’s view of a funeral — of a great-uncle. A view which includes boring speeches, fancy food, and playing with your favourite cousin.

Sometimes, funerals are fun and for fancy food and friends — if you’re a child.

If you are attending a funeral with a child — particularly a funeral of someone you’re not necessarily very close to — this might be a good place to start the discussion.

Ages 3 to 5 years old / 5 to 7 years old.
