>>>I didn't join the group for refreshments afterwards. (Hawkeye said)
Makes me think back to a recent funeral we hosted. Church was pretty full and a flexible invitation offered back to the (normal sized) house for those close to the deceased. We had caterers doing finger buffet but were gobsmacked at the tenacity of people we hardly knew crushing in to avail themselves of the hospitality. At one point those entering the front door put such pressure on room in the hallway folks were creeping up the stairs to avoid them. Greedy ******s!
Next one we hosted in a local small hotel. Offered everyone a first drink on the deceased so to speak. Final bar tab £450! Again greedy whotsits.
Where folks sat in the church would be the least of our worries in future.
