    Read the Drill Manual regarding Military Funerals - most families do not know what one entails so by having a good grasp of what they are all about at least you can speak with some authority.
    Other than that, good luck we sadly have a few on the go at the minute.

    Good luck mate

    I know this sounds bad but if you get the option do the CNO.

    As a CVO you are in it for the long haul

    Read the guide. They had just re-written it in 2000 when I first had to knock on the door of some poor departed soul's mother (a rather ghastly suicide). The guide was a great help, as were the people at PS thingy/Comp Cas (in old money) who I spoke to regularly throughout the time from prior to door knocking up to the funeral. And don't be afraid to talk to people about how hard it is.
