Sorry for your loss, Jenny. I was very close to my own da - when he died it send me into a tailspin.

Years gone I went to the funeral of a sister-in-law (ovarian cancer), and it was the closest I've ever seen to a secular funeral. No crucifixes, no Bibles, no Bible quotes. Lots of flowers, lots of candles, and people reminiscing about Beth. The only remotely spiritual comment I can recall was in the funeral announcement, which said that my sister-in-law '...rejoined the infinite'. Very moving service.

I hope you're coping well.
