What song is played during Russian or Soviet military funerals?
OBVIOUSLY some sort of military or patriotic anthem or march. I would not be surprised if the Marcia Reale (Royal March) is still used, particularily for the Navy, who still fly the Triple Crown ensign on their ships ( despite the fact Italy has been Republican since l946) it is arguable the Marcia Reale- jazzed up quite a bit, formed the basis for the instrumental Rock song- Telstar. It was the De Facto National anthem of Italy in the monarchy period.

At what age is a child old enough to attend a funeral?
It also depends on whose funeral it is. Taking a young child to a close family member's funeral may be more important than taking a young child to a friend's (or distant relative's) funeral who the child may barely even know. Of course, the fact that it is a family member who the child knows well may actually hurt the child's feeling more; however, it's not always necessary to expose the young child to those emotions for someone who the child may not know well.
Based on these factors, it is up to the parents at which age their children should or should not attend a funeral. If your child understands what a funeral is, why it is important, and what it means, you as a parent could leave that option open to the child whether or not they should attend. Some children are rather emotional and would prefer not to attend such an event, but that doesn't mean they don't care for the loved one they lost.
In any case, it is important for you to keep the line of communication open with your child. Talking about the child's feelings is imperative as well as making sure they understand the situation. Your child may be hurting as much, if not more, than you are and will need support just as you would, even if your child seems too young to even understand such emotions and situations.
If you want a personal answer, here are some:
- I have taken my son to funerals for family since birth - he is 2 years old. While he doesn't necessarily understand the situation yet, I do try to explain some things in a manner that is appropriate for him. I leave him with a sitter for funerals in which he did not know the deceased very well.
- Probably around age 10.
What happens to the blood drained out of the body before embalming fluid is inserted?
It is not a two-step process. Fluids are pumped into the body and simultaneously blood is drained into a collection bucket. It is then flushed into the sewer system. The blood has some embalming fluid mixed in with it, and some embalmers put other chemicals into the collection bucket before flushing. This method has been demonstrated as safe, even if it sounds otherwise.

How long is a Mormon service for the deceased?
This is entirely up to the wishes of the individual or the family. Some might wish to have a short funeral and some may wish to have a long one.
A pretty typical Mormon funeral would be as follows:
Viewing: This is usually an open-house type format and is held for a few hours before the main service. This enables you to give your personal condolences to the family or to say your goodbyes to the deceased.
Funeral Service: This is usually about an hour, although it could be shorter or longer. It would consist of prayers, hymns, eulogies from friends and family, and possibly a short sermon from a church leader.
Grave Dedication: The funeral party usually travels to the cemetery where a short grave dedication ceremony is held (expect about 15-30 minutes).
Luncheon: It is common that the local Mormon congregation will provide lunch or dinner for the mourners immediately following the funeral. This is usually quite casual and you can leave when you like.
It is not expected that everyone will attend all four of these events, although you may if you wish. Most who are not close family or friends attend just the main funeral service or stop in during the viewing to greet the family.
Customs vary in other areas of the world, but this format is pretty common among Mormon funerals in the US, Canada, and Europe.
