Insofar as these events can be good, and they can be very good, this one was very good. I think Mum would have enjoyed being there, insofar as you can enjoy being at a funeral - though she would have punctuated the various stages of the day with a sneaky cigarette (or two or three).
Cynthia and Auntie Vera both spoke of closure afterwards, and they were wise and right to do so. But, of course, there is never a final closure as the departed live on intensely in memory. Dad left us in 1976 and he's still vividly there in places in my mind, for which I am grateful.
Now Gertrude and John lie together, as they wished to, in eternity.
