Another day, another funeral.
When you live in a small community everyone knows everyone else. One knows a lot of people. Consequently, attending funerals is a regular obligation.
This time it was a Church of Scotland service (Protestant). For the first time, in my experience, the service was streamed live, and there was a big screen relaying the proceedings to the back of the church.
I was hoping for some slow-mo shots and action replays, but, not to be.

@fitheach And they could have some sort of gps tracker to highlight the location of the coffin or urn in real time on the display with constantly updating co-ordinates.
I'm thinking of that bright blue-purple quantel puck the NHL gave USA viewers of hockey at first.

You'd lose the signal once the coffin went below ground.

@fitheach Perfect. Show's over.

@gemlog
The signal's gone dead.

Actually, wakes in the Highlands are often the best social occasions.

@fitheach :-)
If geeks were funeral directors, the whole business of dying would be a lot more fun for everyone, I can tell.
