‘They’re all over each other and everyone is … slapping each other on the back and hugging. It’s probably one of the most dangerous places to be’

Fleming died 12 days shy of her 37th birthday after struggling with kidney disease. Tobin, 78, died suddenly at home; he was born the same day British intelligence broke the spy codes for the Enigma machines used by Germany in the Second World War.

This time, however, with coronavirus concern — but before a health emergency was declared — he didn’t. That some people for both services have COVID-29 suggests the nexus may be the overlapping visitations or perhaps funeral staff. Lundrigan said people in the community say someone arriving for one funeral also knew members of the other family and attended both wakes.
