Pallbearers carried Brooks' gold-colored coffin into the church, which was the Rev Martin Luther King Jr's congregation, about an hour before the viewing began at 3pm.

Minutes later Brooks' widow, Tomika Miller, arrived surrounded by loved ones who escorted her in as she appeared to wipe away a tear.

Emblazoned on Miller's customized white dress was a photo of her with Brooks. Inside the church, Brooks' body was put on display wearing a pristine white tuxedo with gold accents.

It must be the thing to do in that culture. Jahi McMath, who died in Oakland during an adenotonsillectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and submucous resection of bilateral inferior turbinates, was kept on a ventilator for years. It was all so macabre. She was finally buried in 2018 - and you should’ve seen the funeral! Her mother (who referred to herself as Jahi’s beautiful mother) asked everyone to be dressed in purple.

In our family, funerals are so sombre. Everyone wears black or charcoal. There’s no wailing and gnashing of teeth. We’re all composed and say goodbye with dignity.

Smaller scale, but not all that different from the funerals of George Floyd or Rayshard Brooks, right?

Never will understand the cartoon fashions that you see at these things.
No sense of decorum, always peacocking and preening.

Does anyone know the funeral seating protocol for widows and girlfriends? Do they sit and grieve together? Curious minds...

Well, in all the soap operas, the wife always sits up front wailing and fainting, while the mistress sits quietly sobbing in the last row.
