If you decide on the reading–don’t look up or at anyone, and you should get through it. The reading above is always a nice choice.

I think a funeral should be a celebration of the persons life–so brighter colours are fine over the traditional black. Can Big just wear a nice summer dress?

I shouldn’t do it unless you feel a really powerful urge to; you don’t have to and no one will think less of you. If it is just adding stress to an already impossibly hard day, then just don’t and use the time to cry and grieve and heal a bit.

Max generally has the same tendency to get emotional as a statue does and i know he found it pretty tough to do – i’d just have sobbed. If you have words you’d like to say, why not write them down and ask the vicar (or whoever it is) to say them. Maybe you could write out a few things that will be precious to Princess and Scott in the future, things about her as a mother or something about her as a child or teen that will make them smile?

Write something yourself? That might be too hard I guess. Still thinking of you here too xxx.

Never been asked or felt the urge to read at any funeral – too busy crying.

More hugs and thoughts from here.
