This morning I met the Minister who is going to conduct Mr Rosa's aunt's funeral, next week. Mr R couldn't get any more time off work, so I saw him on my own.
We went through the Order of Service, which Mr R and I had already discussed, and then I was asked for some background about his aunt. She wasn't an easy person, to say the least, but I gave as much information as I could, without dwelling on that. As she wasn't actually my relative, and I only knew her in her later years, it was a bit complicated.
There will be other family members, and friends, at the Service, so I just hope that they're happy with what's said. We gave them the option of helping arrange things, but no-one really wanted to, so we've done most of it on our own. Someone else did choose the entrance and exit music (both of which Mr R and I dislike:(), and they want to read a tribute, but all the actual organisation was down to us.
I really do feel quite a responsibility, and I'm quite nervous about next Monday. I just hope we've done her proud.
