Is it just me or could Thomas J's parents had the funeral somewhere other then Vada's father's funeral palor ..Their kid was best friends with her!! :/
shareWell I'm guessing that is the reason why they had the funeral there, they knew Vada's father personally and trusted him to do the best job.
shareI agree with what everyone else said. Besides, having the funeral elsewhere wouldn't have suddenly made her ok with her best friend dying. Dealing with death is hard period, but for your 11 year old son? Absolutely you'd want to go someplace that you know is going to do a good job and make things easier for you.
shareI think it gave them comfort to have someone they trusted handling the funeral

I grew up n a small southern town. We have two funeral homes. When my Dad passed away 9 years ago we chose the funeral home based on our personal relationship with the owner and his family. When we made the arrangements they came out to talk with us and told us how honored and humbled they were that they could do this for our family. I imagine Harry felt the same way when it came to taking care of Thomas Jays services.

Having grown up in a town of 350, or so, there was only one funeral home. Therefore, it's distincly possible that that was the only funeral home in town.
Destroying an empire to win a war is no victory and ending a battle to save an empire is no defeat
I felt so bad for Mr. & Mrs. Sennett. They not only lost their son, he was their one and only.
shareI honestly would've loved to give Thomas's parents a lot of sympathy for losing their one and only kid.
