Here is stuffed dog finding inspiration by sniffing flowers.
So my daughter said that her well-traveled pet needed to go with us. This canine has been to Delaware, California, and spent 6 months at "Stacy's house." So now Scruffy is in Ouray, getting distracted by all the cats that congregate.
As you can clearly see, Scruffy recognizes the importances of not only narrative, but context.
Scruffy has been able to help Freewoman navigate the underworld, and help me not burst into tears when my characters will not have coherent conversations at the funeral. And Scruffy is definitely the word for two women who write as many hours a day as we do. Who needs showers?

As for characters who won't talk at funerals...
Writers don't need to suffer for their characters. Writers get to make their characters suffer.
If you are the writer, "go for the jugular". Make them talk. You are in charge.

dear Mr. Pobantz --
I like your advice quite a lot. I especialy like the idea of making others suffer.
thank you!
you are redickulous i love you
Who needs coherent conversations? It's a funeral, for Scruffy's sake! Just make them interesting, you know? Maybe throw in some prophesy, some foreshadowing. I need a Scruffy...and blue fingernails...and a Winnabego for that matter. I'd be set.
