want anyone in thongs, shorts, singlet top reading " I want jiggy-jig" or similar.. Showing up at my cremation ceremony, or any of my families cremation!!!!
I think anyone planning to attend show respect, certainly dress respectfully & whatever you do, do not get right in there or at any stage allow yourself to be higher than the priest!
If you do not know what is respectful, ask at your hotel & they should be able to help... But it's not a show put on for any tourists or a pantomime, this is their real lives & one of their loved ones....
I agree it would be immensely improper for a busload of camera clicking tourists to show up at a funeral in Aust!!!!
