Do Funeral Homes Have Separate Areas for Small Children?

Do any funeral homes provide a separate area for visitors with young children?

That's a great question. We at our firm are now allowing special areas for children, and adding children's rooms as we renovate older buildings; many other firms around the country are doing the same. We believe it's important for children to attend and have an opportunity to grieve. We also realize that children will want to play. A children's room addresses both issues.
