I want to bring them to the Chapel, but not the cemetery. Is this the right decision? OBITS A: I'm often asked this question. Remember, what children see is often less frightening that what they imagine. I find it best to discuss the entire process from death to burial prior to the funeral. Knowing what to expect usually allows them to participate throughout. "Yiddish Yes!" 12:15 pm, Sun, Oct 28, The Jewish Community Center, 15110 W.
