So, apart from a tribute concert, Lila Vernon's funeral is planned for next week Thursday, March second at the St. Peter Claver Church on Main Street in Punta Gorda town. It will be an official funeral, and it starts at 11:00 am.
That will be the second official funeral next week. The first is for Bishop OP Martin on Monday 27th. February at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Co-Cathedral in Belmopan at 3:00. He will be interred on the Co-Cathedral's grounds.
And, the funeral for the other notable Belizean who recently passed, Cecil "Chubby" Reneau will be held on Saturday, February 25th at All Saints Church in Belize City. He will be interred at the family property in Ontario Village in Cayo District. But today, his daughter told us that the Institute of archeology stopped the ongoing work prepare the burial site, because, apparently, it is a Maya mound. Reneau's wife, Nina told us that they had no idea any mound was on their property, and the stoppage has caused a huge disturbance for the family in their time of grief. The situation is still devleoping, so up to this evening it was not clear what would be the final plan for his burial.
