Taking a baby to a funeral is apparently a topic of great contention on many online forums. Unfortunately, this week we had to make the decision of what side of the fence we stood on as my dad’s cousin Diane had passed away. I was quite close with her, so it seemed obvious that I was going to go along to the funeral and take Clara with me, but it wasn’t until I started to google what a baby should wear to a funeral that I realised that quite a few people online seem to frown upon a baby being present.
