About a month ago, my uncle Dave passed away and the kids went to the wake and funeral mass with me. The kids have been to a wake before, but it has been awhile. This time they were more aware of what was happening and had some questions. Since then, they have been playing funeral. They start with a whole procession of carrying items down the aisle with singing as they walk. Then the last item to brought down is the "bunny". After they lay the bunny down they kneel in front of it and say a prayer and sing. Notice what they have: a pictures (suppose to be of the bunny), candles, and a scented candle (representing the incense in church). It's amazing what they pick up and the fine details they notice.
