To David and Diana. I don't know whether you will get this. I hope so, David may remember me, as he was the page at my wedding on August 8th 1964. I have just came across the notice and wanted to tell you what happy memories I have of both your parents when I used to look after David when Ruth was expecting Diana and later looking after you both in the holidays, I kept in touch with both your parents at Christmas time and sent a card last year not realising it would not reach Ernest. Your father kept me up to date about you both. How wonderful you followed in his footsteps. How proud he was! I am celebrating my 80th birthday next week so it must be 56 or so years since I last saw you both! With very kind thoughts, from your child-minder, Fay Bradwell, now Jeffrey

Attending a funeral 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.
