Would you or would you not have a funeral for a toddler should they pass for whatever reason?

I was kinda shocked that my husband thought I was a monster for thinking it’s unnecessary.

The way I see it, you can’t be attached to the child until they’re old enough to display personality, which comes way later than the toddler stage; I just can’t see myself having any attachment before their personality develops. If this happened to me, I’d just chalk it up to a ~2 year time loss and go for another pregnancy. Thoughts?

    So totally true. I’m glad to see my intended comment so well phrased. My son was full of personality from the moment his eyes opened (and I melted).

    As for funeral - myself, I don’t see the point of one for anyone. They don’t care. If the people left behind feel the need to do something they can but I don’t see the point of it.

      The point is for the people who care about the deceased. It gives closure and a chance to say any last words.
