Musical Interlude at a Humanist Funeral

It's always embarrassing when a phone goes off during a religious ceremony.

And particularly when it's actually... not a religious ceremony as such. An atheist funeral. Not a gig I'd normally pick up, but all the Secularist celebrants (is "celebrant" the right word in this case?)  happened to have their anoraks in the dry-cleaners on the same day. So what the heck. A religious ceremony with no religious content - that can always be arranged for suitable expenses.

And of course, it's even more awkward when the ringtone comes out of the large pine box at the front. Apparently it had been left in his best suit and nobody thought to check.

But still - "We're on the Road to Nowhere" did seem quite appropriate.
