Republic When a good friend died last year 5 of his grandsons and 1 granddaughter were his pallbearers, the youngest was 10 years old. We had adult spotters walking to each side but those youngsters got it done by themselves. The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.

The first was my 20 year old brother in 1980, then grand parents, and uncles and aunts, and then lastly my parents. I have few older relatives left to go. So those duties are mostly behind me.
