Arranging for the funeral of a loved one is an emotional and multi-layer process. When it is the funeral of someone of political status or society notoriety, additional steps are needed to properly honor the dead and accommodate the security needs of the mourners. Alex Putnam, a member of SCI’s Ceremonial Funeral Teams will highlight some the prominent funerals on which he has worked and the layers of security, scrutiny, and work is needed when burying the famous.
