Yesterday's funeral visit metamorphised into today's funeral.

There were many more attendees compared with the other funeral I attended whilst in Orton Goldhay. The lady who had died was clearly a popular person with many friends and family, some travelling long distances, among the mourners. I stood at the back to watch. Ian didn't say any of the scripture passages sometimes read out when the coffin is brought into the chapel of rest, he explained afterwards that when they have music playing it's impossible for it to be heard. Although it didn't feel rushed, I was very aware that there is only half an hour to complete the service, so inevitably the whole event takes no more than 20 mins. Ian told me that in winter it can get very busy, and although he didn't say it, I imagine there must be some pressure to get finished as quickly as possible, so that the next funeral can take place.
