Owl post from Azimuth Long to Harry Potter
Dear Mr Potter,
Let me first say we here are all very saddened by Miss Granger's passing and offer you our most sincere condolences. Mr and Mrs Granger have already contacted us through St. Mungo's to say that you will be seeing to all of the details. If you will send us the guest list for the funeral, we will increase security to prevent gawkers and the press from interfering. I would also like to assure you that all of our services are entirely discreet and reliable, and our word is our bond. We also have a long history of mixed Wizarding funerals. If you choose to include Muggle guests unaware of the Wizarding world, none will find themselves discommoded or bewildered in any way.
We will bring Miss Granger here with every care and deep respect. Please do send us an ensemble of clothing for her; a favourite dress or robe, perhaps. We can arrange a private viewing for you after she has been cared for and dressed. And in light of circumstances, I would like to suggest a viewing for her friends and family. I assure you her injuries will be entirely masked, and in cases such as this it is often a comfort to those bereaved to see their loved one at peace.
I would also like to encourage you to leave all in our hands. From your description of Miss Granger, and what her parents have expressed, I believe we have a good understanding of what would be both tasteful and appropriate. A profusion of her favourite flowers, a simple casket, and a simple and heartfelt ceremony with only friends and family in attendance. If you have an officiant in mind, please let me know. We do have a relationship with several parishes if you do not, both Wizarding and Muggle. If this is acceptable, I will immediately draft a plan and send it for your approval. Then you may leave the rest to us.
My deepest sympathy,
Azimuth Long
