A Funeral

Funerals are usually an important event in the life of a family. They often prompt a gathering of individuals from the wider family who may not see each other for extended periods of time. They may, in other words, become an opportunity for a 'reunion'.

Two such examples are recorded here:

• The unveiling of the headstone of Michael John Edie, in Eketahuna, New Zealand, on 23 October, 2004.

• The funeral of Judith Anne (Edie) Allen on 14 August, 2018
