children at a wake and funeral

children at a wake and funeral

away. The wake is today at the funeral home.
My grandchildren ages 5 and 6 are being brought to the
funeral home because my daughter in law says there are
family and friends that have never met them and she
wants to show them off. An offer was made to babysit
the children at home which she refused. She says that
the children are old enough to stay up late on a school
night to attend this wake. Is it appropriate?
