The flowers themselves might leave the eyes moist. (Last funereal I was at also featured incense, as the wife of the departed was Thai Buddhist, and that moistened quite a few eyes as well.)
My dad has always said he wants a proper Viking funereal, with a flaming barge. I've been considering whether a scale model carrying his ashes would be an acceptable substitute. Opinions?
