The Surin Funeral Home was a wizarding establishment in the heart of London, and anyone not in proper attire - full, formal robes - would be refused entry. The guestbook was floating just inside the door of the viewing room, which opened into the back row of seats available. At the front center of the room was the casket, a large arrangement of hydrangeas sitting next to it. Per Pureblood tradition, because Phillipa had died in a non-violent manner, her casket was left open for the viewing, though it would be closed at the start of the actual service. That portion of the morning lasted about an hour, before the wizard in charge finished speaking and the funeral director began politely herding people towards the Floo in the entrance hall.

Guests who would be attending the family home were given directions to the ball room that was being used for the day. The four family house elves passed among the attendees silently with trays of finger food and drinks. The doors leading out of the room were warded so that guests could not wander off down the corridors of the manor.

Marcus and Blaise and Open

Looking over, Marcus nodded at Blaise's words. He certainly hoped that it was true, because he couldn't imagine trying to survive long-term feeling like this. The day had just begun, and he was already ready for it to be over and done with. "Thanks," he said in response, because it was both polite and expected, but also because he was floundering a little for anything else to say. At least with Blaise he wasn't going to be expected to make idle conversation, and the appearance of being occupied would give him a few moments before anyone else attempted to begin speaking to him. He took a moment to reign himself in again, reaching for all the lessons of youth in how to handle any situation with decorum. "I appreciate you being here," he said, which was true enough in the moment, even if Marcus would have preferred to be anywhere but here.

There wasn't much of anything to say really. His mother had stressed the importance of his presence as if he would have chosen to be elsewhere today. He could have said something about his mother's insistence upon the Zabini family being properly represented but to do so would be equivalent to rubbing salt in a wound. Something Marcus did not deserve though he could think of some he wouldn't have thought twice about quipping off to.

"I had to make sure no one sent you Devil's snare," he glanced at the stand of flowers near the coffin and made note that there really weren't too many others decorating the room.
