Yesterday Hubby and I watched his Mum's funeral on the online streaming video from the funeral parlour. It was a very strange feeling not being able to travel up the coast to attend in person, but one of his nieces and her husband also could not make it due to health issues.

She was a good woman, clever, funny, good at a lot of different crafts, and she loved butterflies. At present we have a little tribute shelf for her with photos, a craft item she made for me, and a stained glass butterfly lamp I bought for her which I had given back to me when she moved from her house to the nursing home.

An odd moment was the choice of Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah, sung by an uncredited male singer. The lyrics of that song are a bit confronting in parts. An odd choice, IMHO.

A beautiful piece of music was an unaccompanied choral rendition of Amazing Grace with melodic variations in each verse and beautiful harmonies. It was also uncredited but I would love to know who the singers were. Different singers took the solos in each verse.
