Grandad has passed away should an 8 year old autistic child go to the funeral? Hos do you explain a cremation?
I know that Irish funerals are very large and very well attended, especially in Rural Ireland - when I came home from the U.K. for my Mum’s funeral in 2009 and my Dad’s funeral in 2018, I was blown away at how many attended the removal, let alone the Requiem Mass & Burial and I was amazed that so many had flown in from Canada and the US - my Mum had almost married a US Marine from when she was working in the US Embassy in Dublin and his entire family came over - when my Dad died in 2018, my cousin Sean was in the French Foreign Legion and many of the guys from his regiment came to Ireland to pay their respects
