Is it appropriate for a child to attend a family gathering or ‘wake?
It is entirely up to you whether you feel it is appropriate. It is a good idea to ask the child and explain what is happening. At Guardian Funerals we have found that children want to be involved – not left out. Being part of the gathering means they are surrounded by the care and support of family members. Back to top.
