Until last Monday, it was reassuring to know that Stefan shared my place of work. Reassuring, too, to be certain that I'd see Stefan's familiar figure making his way up Tweed Road as he set out each evening for home. These small, seemingly insignificant habits are part of the rhythm of working life, daily rituals that are not missed or mourned until of course they are gone. His was such a quiet, steady presence whenever, and wherever, an IT problem set in. If he was troubleshooting, the frustrations must have been many but he never made any fuss about it. He was simply one of those rare few who are able to radiate calm while they diligently get on with the job in hand. The few who can remain pleasant when they feel under pressure. The things we value in other people are often not made plain to them before it becomes too late. It shames me to think Stefan never knew that I will always consider it a privilege to say our career paths were side by side for such a long time, and a reward to recall how, on rare but memorable occasions, he would pick a moment to expand his thoughts and let me share his company and conversation. Deepest sympathy to all the Pflug family.

Attending a funeral FAQs
What should I wear?
We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.
How long does a service last?
Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.
Where should I sit?
Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.
Where should I send flowers?
Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
