My daughters grandmother passed away and Ive gotten diffrent opinions from reds and purples which are no nos...... shes only 4 and was very close to her paternal grandmother. Is it even a good idea to let her attend the funeral?

i've never really heard about any myths about red...i think a plum or burgundy outfit would be okay...my 3 y/o son recently went to a funeral w/ me and he wore navy blue...whether or not she attends is up to you, some 4 y/o's are more mature that others, hope this helps :)

I don't really understand what you mean by reds and purples being a no-no, maybe because I am not of a recognized faith... but my suggestion is that you take her to the store and get her the prettiest dress that you know her grandmother would like and tell her that it is for grandmother. A funeral in my mind is for the family and loved ones to say what they need to and to show there respect, so tell her grandfather she ( your daughter ) will be the bright spot through this sad situation and when he needs to smile to look at his beautiful granddaughter all dressed up for him and his wife both - most churches and officials of them wont say anything or raise an eyebrow,at how a little one is dressed as long as it is nicely.... My son went to his fathers funeral in a pair of dark pants and a white shirt with a red tie ( he was a year old) he then went to his grandfathers service at 15 in tan dress pants a tan dress shirt and a black tie and shoes..... It's not what the kids wear its that they are there. Good luck to you and I wish you and your family well.

Um...huh. Well what has her age got to do with it? She needs to wear black or navy. (And I'm sorry...who wears red to a funeral? That's not a color that announces mourning...)
That last question is hard. I say yes if it's a closed casket...but she might get restless, so think about that. It wouldn't be terrible if she didn't attend.

just dress her the way you always would, like for the holidays or family get togethers. just dress her nice she is 4 dress her in what you think she should wear, my aunt passed a couple of years ago and our family dressed the children in colors that she liked it was kinda awesome. they were all grandchildren and great grandchildern and a few nieces and nephews. and yes if she was close to her she should have the opportunity to say good bye. hope this helps.
