advice needed on funeral please :)
21 Answers
hiya, although i may give he impression i can't make a decision on my own, this truly isn't the case - just need some other opinions please. My i am organising the funeral for my son who only lived a few hours. Whan my daughter died last year, we didn't invite anyone to the funeral, it was just the three of us. However, this feels slightl different, as both sets of his grandparents actually met him (whereas my daughter was stillborn, and not seen by anyone else after her birth)
My husband would like to invite the grandparents (plus auntie and cousin who also met him) but i'm not sure really
i know the answer is to do what's right for us, but we both think that's a different thing, what do we do?

That's a good idea. I think it's nice and proper that they want to be involved and they met William so I think they should be. BUt I wouldn't want them there the whole time either and would want a moment in private with my child and husband/partner too. I hope you get a compromise that suits both you and Mr bednobs.
hi bednobs. i can understand you and oh would prefer williams funeral as heathers was. but , as the relatives had the privelege to meet william , i can understand them wanting to say goodbye, i do believe whatever you both decide, no one will take offence,,,, i know you will both make the right decision for you all.... take care anne.
my friend lost her twin sons and they had the grandparents at the little chapel then just the two of them went to the graveside with their babies. Maybe you want to just do what feels right on the day but if you have made the decision you want to be yourselves at the graveside let the others know this in advance. I am so sorry for your loss x
