Iāve been fierce lucky down through the years, bar one, all funerals Iāve had to attend have been for men and women of advanced years. Iām due a fair share of ones where āsorry for your troublesā just doesnāt cut it
Yeah thereās no a lot you can do in the ones it isnāt unfortunately. Horrible affairs.
you could contribute to the expense of the funeral ā¦just a suggestion
I covered for a colleague for well over a week last year when she was bereaved. Marked her āinā when she wasnāt cos she was out of bereavement leave. Not a smart thing to do but what can ya do in those circumstances
I was at one today. A sucide. Fuck all you could say to make that situation any better. Complete sense of shock.
Business casual.

You would but thinking is generally the issue.
RIP Tommy Mckenna, one of the truly great men I had the pleasure of knowing.
I wore a suit in the end, taking Fagans advice, and it felt right to do so.
I parked the bike down the block at the Irish centre and walked.

Iāve felt that this has eased off a bit in recent years. The professional funeral goers are fewer than before - maybe some of them have passed on. Iāve been at two smallish funerals recently where the family were sincerely asking people to come back (to a GAA club for one, a hotel for the other) as they were afraid of a small attendance afterwards.
Good man flatty
