taking LO to a funeral home?

Sunidaze

A really good friend of mine lost her father on Monday.  Visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow morning.  I can't make the funeral, but want to try to go to the funeral home tonight, but would have to take LO with me.  Good idea or no?

Maybe you can go right when it is starting before a lot of people get there. Then you will have paid your respect and can leave whenever you need after that. Even if it's quick, your friend will appreciate it.

I'm sorry to hear of your friend's loss. I think you should be fine taking LO. Agree with PP to head in early to get out quickly. I bet she'll bring a little ray of sunshine so you might be doing a service to your friend and her family.

I took M to my uncle's a few weeks ago and it was fine. Either me or MH held onto him so he wasn't running all over, plus I packed some snacks quiet toys. If you do want to stay for a little while, you could always run out to grab your stroller after you've paid your respects stay toward the back then. If not, I think you're fine to take her.

DD came with us to all of DH's grandma's services when she was 8 months old. Now, it was a close family member, so it was a no brainer, but I don't see anything wrong with bringing your LO.

I guess asking this question has turned out to be pointless as I am still stuck at work awaiting a phone call.  Irritated.
