 After Westminster Funeral, Diana Will Be Buried at Her Ancestral Home
The body of the princess, who died early on Sunday after a car crash in Paris, will then be taken to the ancestral home of her family, the Spencers, in Althorp, Northamptonshire.
Monday's announcement about the funeral came after 24 hours of deliberation as the family of Queen Elizabeth sought to square its own precedent-conscious traditions with the recognition that the princess enjoyed a public regard exceeding its own.
Anthony Howard, a writer and constitutional expert, told the BBC that he suspected a full state funeral would not have been welcomed by the young woman who is being hailed for having brought a human touch to a monarchy perceived as distant and chilly.

One of the unique features of funeral planning is to be able to arrange your funeral a long time before it happens.
The benefits are that when you lodge funds in a funeral bond, you reduce your asset holdings and you inherit peace of mind because you know that your funeral expenses are essentially covered.
We discuss with you which aspects of the funeral you want to cover now and which you might want to leave to your children to look after (it's a good idea to leave something for the children to be involved with).

 Suicide rate rises after funeral of Princess of Wales -- 321 (7271): 1246 -- BMJ
The University of Oxford Centre for Suicide Research found that the overall suicide rate in England and Wales rose by 17% in the four weeks after her funeral, compared with the average reported for that period in the four previous years (British Journal of Psychiatry 2000;177:469-72).
The researchers suggest an "identification" factor partly explains the findings—in other words the kind of people who most identified with the princess were most affected by her death.
The theory advanced then was that the bringing together of the nation in mourning meant people felt more connected with each other and their community, so reducing isolation and loneliness.

 [minstrels] After the Funeral (In memory of Ann Jones) -- Dylan Thomas
'After the Funeral' is, I think, the only one of Dylan Thomas' poems to deal with a specific individual - whereas most of his work is concerned with abstractions or nature, 'Ann Jones' is a very personal, very particularized kind of poem.
His awareness that the poem may be a monument disproportionate with the natural life of the real woman is at the living center of the poem.
Shaped by the phrases beginning "After," the first twenty lines fall into two parts: lines one through nine treat the feelings of the "desolate boy" at funeral time; lines ten through twenty are in the voice of "I," who will, in line twenty-one, announce himself as bard.

 Criticism of Giuliani and Police Mounts After Funeral Violence
By RANDAL C. A day after violence marred the funeral for the victim of a police shooting, criticism of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and the city's Police Department intensified yesterday as the mayor vigorously defended himself and the police and denounced the protesters for what he called an "orchestrated attack."
At news conferences and in pulpits across the city, the mayor's political foes seized on the melee as further evidence of what they described as the mismanagement of a police department that they contended was losing the faith of New Yorkers, especially in minority areas, after a string of police-involved shootings of unarmed men.
But for the first time, the mayor also voiced sympathy for the family of Patrick M. Dorismond, the 26-year-old fl Haitian-American whose funeral on Saturday was marred by scuffles among mourners and police officers in which 23 officers and 4 civilians were hurt and 27 people were arrested.
