I would not go, personally. Maybe meet with his family at a later time, or after the funeral, like other PP said.

If you want to go, then you can go. But I would not bring the kids. Even when my own grandmother died (I was 8 and loved her very much, she basically raised me until then) I did not get to go to the funeral. It might be ok for the 14 year old, but it’s not going to be ok for the 9 year old. Funerals are a bit too much for kids to really understand, and the 14 year old has already said she doesn’t want to go.

I think if the kids want to go, you should at least consider going for their sake, if you think it’s something you can emotionally handle. I think they would certainly understand if it’s not something you can do (or, at least I hope they would understand).
