Published by the Public Education and Awareness Committee South Huron and District Association for the MerdaIy Handicapped We're glad you asked! • With Iry Armstrong and Bob Fletcher of SHOULD CHILDREN ATTEND FUNERALS? One answer to this question is provided by Rabbi Earl A. Grollman, D.D. who has written extensively on death and how it relates to a child. In the prologue of his book Explaining Death to Children, he states: "Recognized child authorities have come to the conclusion that not only is it correct to permit a child to attend a funeral, but from approx- imately the age of seven, a child should be encouraged to attend." A child is a integral part of the family and as such it is important that he or she participate with the family on all important occasions. The funeral, although a sad occasion, is one of such importance. It will help the child learn how to react to death and how to handle the grief experience. To be excluded from any such important family experience could be the beginning of great emotional distress. Exclu- sion can provide the breeding ground for destructive fantasies and can crumble the feeling of security a child enjoys as an accepted member of the family. Call us if you'd like to discuss this in greater depth.
