It's not a "little inconvenience" when you are literally unable to get

But unless you are of a certain religion, there is plenty of
warning about when the funeral will take place, allowing a bit
of forward route planning.

It is not just a "certain religion". Christians burials in Ireland as
mainly next day or the day after at latest.

How many short-notice far-away funerals do you go to a year, out of interest?

Should we be concerned?



Not so often. But they do happen, they are at short notice and without a
vehicle that can set off with no prior notice and do more than a tank's
range, without long refueling stops, we'd not have made it for some of them.

With the in-laws being one of 13 on one side and one of 8 on the other,
there are a *lot* of relatives!
