i don't know them at all and there's no contact info in the obituary, all it says is "small grave side service followed by a wake" and info about where to send donations

So, you bring the kids, who will have no idea what a grave is; they'll think it's an outdoor gathering, & they'll go and play. When they're older, you can explain "death." For now, focus on doing the right thing: honoring your friend. (Forgive the typos in my previous. Hope you knew what I meant!)

I had to take the 4 year old with Downs who I nannied for to a funeral once. We just explained it as a "sad party" and she was great.
