A felicitous funeral

A departure…
Gilbert: We gave him a good send-off.
Claire: Yeah. All the right people came: family, colleagues, community.
Gilbert: Cooperative priest. A nice balance between religious and secular for a man who had difficulties with the church.
Claire: Nice service program. The photo show was moving. The music matched.
Gilbert: And the venue was perfect. The last building he designed as a practicing architect. A theatre.
Claire: Speeches were concise and professionally delivered. Eulogy from the family, one from the mayor, and eight bells and bugles from the Vets for his military background.
Gilbert: All the rellies could treat it like a family reunion. All in all, it went off well.
