Or hope you fly over Idaho- it's a duct tape state. Sarcasm off.

I must ask why on earth do babies and infants need to fly in the first place? What's a two-month old going to do at a funeral? Why must a ninteen month old be flown to Amsterdam, for goodness sakes? If they "need" to be seen by adult relatives, let the adults do the traveling. Let kids be kids, not minature grown ups.

"What's a two-month old going to do at a funeral?"

Perhaps the mother is breast feeding. Perhaps the parents couldn't find someone to take care of it on such short notice.

Nurse from the mother's breast.

Yeah, if my 85-year-old father-in-law wants to see his grandkids, he can just fly his sorry ass across country. Don't want to disturb anyone's eardrums after all!

Two month old babies need to be with their mothers. They're not going to "do" anything at the funeral.

When my father died suddenly in 1993, my son was 1½. My then-husband was out of the country, and I'd be damned if I was going to park my son anywhere while I was across the country. There was no choice at all. FWIW, he was pretty well-behaved on both flights.
