Already have made it known to Jack at the funeral directors. I also felt the need to make it publc on here I feel very stongly about this these 3 ladies should be named and shamed for disrespectfullness turning up at Mc Donalds Torquay in full funeral attire appreciate they are entitled to a break etc.. but come on doesnt exactly look professional and doesnt set a good example.
