I think this time of year it does take longer, I know someone who works in a funeral home and they've said December to March is a very busy time because of the cold and darker nights. I remember reading somewhere that our immune system is lower in the winter too.
Apologies if this appears morbid but I just thought it would be interesting to see which other famous people had their funeral take place at Mortlake . Jean clearly shared the location with some illustrious and notorious people from the past.
Thanks for posting, Captain - would have clicked "Like" but that did not seem quite right - if there'd been an emoticon for "Interesting" that would have fit the bill!
