I tried to avoid attending funerals after having kids. Not that I am superstitious, but MIL and my mum will prefer my kids to stay away from funeral if possible, unless it involves close family members. Some old folks believe that kids will get “disturbed” by some supernatural force or negative “qi” from funeral, so it’s advisable not to let the kids be there.

However, we can always send some sympathy gift baskets to show our condolences even if we cannot be there. These basket are really nice, but too bad, they are only applicable in US. I’m not sure if I can find anyone here locally. Most of the time, I will get someone to send a small token of money and regards to the family. I guess most Chinese will do the same.
