My father's funeral today...

Only 30 allowed at the crem so only close family invited but the live feed system will allow those who can't travel to be there.

No wake allowed so we are planning a memorial service and proper wake hopefully in December when the rules permit.

Condolences. Hard to get through.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Ah, must have missed your sad news. I hope today feels more like a happy celebration of a life than anything else.

It went very well, which was a relief as I was the planner. All 5 of us children managed to say different things in our slots and we congregated outside for toasts for the best part of 2 hours instead of a proper wake, which will come later when the rules are relaxed.

A good day for a good life.  Well done family.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.
