Should Children Attend Funerals?

!±8± Should Children Attend Funerals?

Death; it is the only certain thing in life. Everything dies. Humans deal with death differently from any other species. We grieve for our loss and for the loss of others. But what about children; how do they handle death?

Even the youngest child has had to face the death of a goldfish or other pet. Parents explain that the pet has "gone to Heaven", "gone to be with Jesus" or some other easy to grasp explanation of why it will never come back again. Children, however, have no concept of death. To them it is like watching a cartoon or other television show where the hero is dead one minute and then comes back alive. To children this is how it works for everything.

When a family member dies it is difficult for a child to understand what has happened. They might grasp that "Grandma Rose" isn't going to be coming back but they won't grasp the reason. If the child is old enough to really miss the person who has died, he/she is old enough for you to talk with about the funeral and what will happen there. You should try to explain what will happen as simply and succinctly as possible. If your family goes to church it may be easier since death is discussed at an early age in Sunday School. If your minister visits your house you can ask him to speak with your child, too.

As you try to explain what is about to occur, you might start by asking the child what he thinks happens when someone dies. Listen carefully and try to explain it in as simple a fashion as possible. "Grandma Rose has been very sick. You know she has been in the hospital for a long time. Last night she died. She won't be sick anymore. She will not hurt any more. We are sad that she is not with us anymore but (here religion can come into play) now she is in Heaven with Grandpa Tom and Jesus. It is alright to be sad and even a little mad that she isn't going to be with us anymore. It is alright if you want to cry; I have been crying, too." It is here that you have to be certain you don't talk down to the child. Children are a lot smarter than we give them credit for being. They instinctively know if we adults are hiding something from them or not being honest. As soon as you think they understand about the death of the person, you can start to explain about the funeral. "Do you want to come with us to the funeral home to take Grandma Rose's clothes that she will be buried in?" If the child says yes, you might as well ask "would you like to help us pick out the casket?" or "Will you help me pick out a hymn that Grandma Rose would have liked?" or read a passage from the Bible and ask "do you think this is the one Grandma Rose would have wanted read?" Sometimes children like to put something special into the casket for their loved one to have with them; a friend's child chose to put her favorite stuffed animal in with her grandmother. Some older children like to include a letter or a photo. Whatever will make the child feel better is appropriate. Do not worry about what anyone else thinks.

It is a good idea to take the child by the cemetery where the burial will take place so that he/she can see where Grandma Rose's grave will be. Explain that at a later time a stone will be added with her name and age on it to mark the site. You can tell him/her that there will be lots of flowers to decorate the grave as symbols of respect and love. Then explain that those who watch the burial will be there to say good-bye.

Do not force the child to view the body. The child will let you know if he/she wants to do this. If he/she does, explain that what he/she is seeing is just a shell; the body only. Grandma Rose has left her body and her soul has gone on its next journey. The person he/she knew is not in the casket; that is just a shell that has dropped away.

If the child does not want to go to the funeral, do not make him/her go. Arrange for him/her to stay with a friend. If you are worried that he/she might regret this later, you can arrange for a video to be done for them to see at a later time. Photographs should also be available as well as the guest book which is normal to find at a funeral.

If your child does want to attend the funeral ask someone to be available to take the child outside if he/she becomes too upset to stay. It is alright for the child to cry. Plenty of adults will be doing the same thing. The child should be aware that crying and being upset is normal when someone dies.

Ultimately, whether or not your child should (or will) attend the funeral is your decision. The first funeral he/she attends will have a profound affect on the child if not handled correctly. I, personally, do not believe children should attend funerals of people who are not close friends or closely related. This would be a needless trauma. Having established that the funeral is for a close friend or relative, the adult should make arrangements for another adult who is well known to the child to be present as a sort of "buddy" for the child. This adult will remove the child from the situation if he/she becomes too upset. This adult can also take control and see that the child is fed something and has something to drink. This adult can be there emotionally to answer questions the child may have when you, overcome with your own grief, will be unable to do this. Whatever you decide, do not let your child go through this alone.
