Sorry your Uncle died Glatt, although at least you knew it was coming.
I missed the thread first time round (although I probably avoided it due to the title, not having lids myself).

I would have suggested you did exactly what you did anyway. I am puzzled by people that keep children away from funerals - they have to know about death at some point. I think the ceremony is comforting. Although I am in a country where open coffins are not the norm and I went to Mass every week so ceremony was familiar to me.
