On the other hand he doesn't have to do things like going straight back to work, get food in from the supermarket, plan, cook meals and wesh up, sort out his laundry, get the kids to school, deal with his mam's affairs, look after a remaining spouse now on their own and finding it difficult to cope, or maybe sort out her empty house and belongings. In many ways that is harder than the funeral itself because of all the memories it invokes.
