DH's father died of a heart attack during the 1987 hurricane. Because of the damage and road closures in West Sussex the cortege had to wind round various diversions en route to the crematorium. I had set out all the food in the room we had booked for the tea afterwards but had forgotten to switch on the tea urn which took a long time to heat up.
My sis-in-law, who was trying to spot the car we were supposed to be following, nearly had a heart attack herself when I told her I'd forgotten the urn. She thought we had to provide the urn for the ashes and there'd be nothing to put him in unless we went back to get it!!
Things didn't improve when he was carried in to the questionable taste of 'In a Persian Market.' They'd put the cassette in the wrong way round.....It should have been 'In a Monastery Garden'
