This incredibly moving piece, infused with emotion because of the highly personal topic and the openness of the producer, definitely warrants a place on the air. The mix of narration, conversation, music, and sound from the funeral itself creates a very dynamic piece, both in content and in audio. For improvement, I would suggest smoothing the transitions or making sure the whole piece is in chronological order; although bringing the listener to the funeral itself, then giving some background information, and then returning to the funeral has the potential to be very effective, the result was slightly confusing.
