Shocking moment staff member at crematorium interrupts the service to shout at man who moved his chair closer to his mother to comfort her at his father's funeral
The shocking moment a member of staff at a crematorium interrupted a funeral in order to berate mourners for being too close together has been caught on camera.
Craig Bicknell, from Milton Keynes, revealed he had moved his chair in order to comfort his mother at the funeral of his father Alan Wright on 2nd October at Crownhill Crematorium, before other mourners followed suit.
But it wasn't long before a member of staff interrupted the service by waving his arms and shouting at the mourners to 'move the chairs back'.
Craig said he and his brother Paul were left devastated by the 'telling off', as they grieved the loss of their father who died from a heart attack in September.
Writing on Facebook he said: 'I can sit in a restaurant, I can sit in a pub, I can live at her house, I can travel in a limousine to the crematorium with 6. But when I want to give my mum a cuddle at dads funeral, a man flies out mid service shouting stop the service and makes us split...A devastating day made even worse.'
A spokesperson for Milton Keynes Council said: 'We are sorry to have upset this family. We dont usually step in if a guest needs to be comforted by another family member and in this instance should have taken a more considered approach.

I think he means the day after the election, with a reference to Guy Fawkes.
I think we’ve all been conditioned to be far too passive in the modern era. I live now in an area that is particularly feminized, where even just carrying yourself like a man gets you odd looks, and there is a lot of fairly poor behavior in general, because not enough people get punched in the face as a general rule.
As I mentioned on Twitter when I saw the video, I don’t use profanity but that idiot would have heard a completely new vocabulary had he done that to my family.
LMAO!
great line!
That’s a good way to get your teeth knocked out.
The proper response to the oaf’s command, “Sorry, sorry, you have to put the chairs back I’m afraid” is “You had better be afraid. Now back off and keep your mouth shut.”
Yep. Have a son who works in the industry and has many stories.
I’m not excusing the behaviour of the employee. But it is the UK and they probably have gov entities breathing down their necks. If they don’t follow protocol.... they shut down the funeral home.
Disgraceful that it’s come to THIS! Ugh!
No, no, no...in Bidenland it’s not the “science,” it’s “The Science,” as in there is only once science. As in “The Science” is an immutable object, not a process of discovery that can change with new information and results. We Deplorables need to get with the Bidenland language. /s
This guy is lucky, in some families he would have been the guest of honor at the next funeral.
The appropriate response to the staff member would have been a fist to the nose.
I'm not a hugging type of guy, but a couple of weeks ago, I started hugging people that I would consider friends and acquaintances. That list isn't terribly long, but no one has rejected my hugs. I know for me that having human contact is important and I suspect that it is important to others as well.
No one thinks today - they just DO - and then apologize. Apologies come too easily.
Heck - that’s just more new business - what’s that guy’s problem?
I would have put that ahole on a liquid diet for a few months
British Nazi, called Karens today. Unbelievable how many Karens can find gainful employment and actually hold onto their jobs more than a week.
In the old days, one knew how to handle such a person, and it always involved a bloody nose (though I’m not sure that was ever true in England).
Effing mask Nazis. I would have told him to pound sand.
will this one do?
Not this year.
I really miss the days when a person doing something like that to another man would immediately get their teeth busted in.
Where I come from, and were I present, that would most certainly have happened.
“Not this year.”
As for the Fourth here, we’re being told it might be weeks before the dems can manufacture enough ‘mail-in’ votes to try to put Biden over the top.
