This is happening far to soon. My lasting memory of Jo is her taking me aside to tell me you can eat the green part of a spring onion. I’d never seen a spring onion before and I chopped up the white bit and threw the rest away. Sorry I can’t be there to say good buy. Will be thinking of you all on Thursday. Dee xxx

I only knew Jo through the dogs, while we both still lived in spain, and it was pure coincidence we moved to the same area in Portugal,but never got chance to be better aquainted, but everytime i saw her she had a big fat grin on her face, she always had time to stop for a quick chat, she will be remebered by me as the mad dog lady x

Attending a funeral FAQs

View all FAQs >

What should I wear?

We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.

How long does a service last?

Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.

Where should I sit?

Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.

Where should I send flowers?

Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
