Yeah - it's the not being able to stand there, have a weep & say goodbye bit..................... but I can take my five minutes out at work and do it my own way I guess.

I agree with you Fiona - I think the funeral is a way of bringing a closure. Couldn't believe that had they wanted a normal service, it wouldn't be held until 19th January almost a month after she died!!!!!!!!!!!!! As it is, it will be two and a half weeks after the event........... I know part of that is due to Christmas and New Year Bank holidays but even so..... seems far too long to have to wait.
