Yes, warn them. No, don't take them to the funeral.

I agree with the others about how to explain death, that's how we did it. Cremation is much more common in the UK and that's what happened to their granddad, so we explained that when asked about what happens to the body. We said he didn't need it anymore and how cremation can be a form of recycling..... they got a pretty good grip on it. they were about the same age as yours (plus one younger)
