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.

Bryony nodded, giving a small, polite but genuinely grateful smile. She knew her share of people who would see a weakness and pounce on it, even in such understandable circumstances as these - and she was relieved that she didn't have to deal with that today, on top of everything else. "Of course," she said, fully understanding that a funeral was far from a fun place to spend time - and that the polite course of action was not to tarry too long and add to Marcus's duties as host. "I hope I haven't kept you."

Bryony and Rich

The signs were there. There was something more than the usual pureblood politics going on with this woman. Exactly what, he wasn't sure. It wasn't like there we're any signs of physical abuse. The scents of potions and balms that he'd learned in CoMC. The little hitches and stiffness that any trained duelist could see...

Mental abuse? Yeah, well, pureblood and all that. Sometimes hard to tell when you were talking about some of the more inbred lines. Still...

"No, not at all. It was good to see you again, despite..." Rich's half bow was polite and calculated. But he decided to try tossing a lifeline to her. "I'm in town more that not these days. Drop me a line if you'd care to talk of racing, or... anything."
