Shane MacGowan’s wife Victoria May Clarke took to the stage at the singer’s funeral on Friday, 8 December, as symbols of the singer were presented.
Items included a Gaelic football shirt, a copy of the Crock of Gold book featuring MacGowan’s art and writing, and a tray that Pogues singer Spider Stacy would “bash over Shane’s head” during gigs.
MacGowan’s funeral mass was attended by Irish leaders and the country’s biggest celebrities, who gathered to pay their respects at St Mary of the Rosary in Nenagh, County Tipperary.

@kimberlybates6261 8 месяцев назад

This is how funerals use to be before funeral homes came along. My mom and grandma told me how the deceased would be put on a table or up against the wall in their casket and people would come over and pay their respects and tell stories or drink a beer. All the neighbors would come over. Then obviously there was a church service but I believe it helped so much with the grief. Love funerals like this.

This was very unusual. The wife’s odd production was probably after the actual funeral Mass. (I didn’t see the whole funeral.) It was probably just allowed to appease the wife. She may have been misleading and this got out of hand. Shame on the priests who allowed this. None of those items are useful in Heaven.

A wake was at home with the body or in a pub without the body celebrating the (past) life of the deceased. But the funeral mass was and should be a different thing, it's for the onward journey of the soul hopefully to heaven or purgatory (through prayer to the big JC). Through his devotion to Mary mentioned in the mass hopefully he will be there now in peace. Pray for him.
