I'm not sure the kids' song would go over as well. I think "Welcome to Our House" is a better choice but I could foresee a medley of that with either one of Small Alison's solos or "Welcome to the Fun Home" (there's something about caskets onstage that's disturbing to some people-not me, but it could be a turn off).

It's a show about a family who work in a funeral home. If caskets are a turnoff, that person isn't going to go anyway.

To me, you pick your most energetic, attention grabbing number - avoiding because of fear of bad reactions to caskets is like if "Grand Hotel" had avoided "We'll Take a Glass Together" because some people dislike seeing public drunkenness.

I still think showing the family and the tensions is a good move. The kids are cute but it's a grown up show-it's not for children.
