I suppose everyone has to abide by the wishes of their loved ones so it's good that they have followed those wishes. It's my brother's funeral on Friday and it will be in Kingdom Hall at some point because he was a Jehovah's Witness. We are Church of England and he converted early in his married life. His wife and her family were all JWs. His son has been keeping us informed but we're still not sure which way the arrangements will go. We THINK the burial is first and the service at the Hall is later but we'll only be sure on the day. We have to travel to Ripon so I hope the snow stays away until we get there and back. smiley: frown Hazel
