The actual burial was somewhat shambolic, but this is Egypt. Tayib had to tell the hearse how to get to the monastery.
At the graveside the body was slid from the box into the pit. Even if I had seen it at this point I would not have photographed it. But the operation was done under a blanket, showing a modicum of respect. There was nobody in charge of proceedings, and no formal service. But Stan is now at home in sight of the Theban hills and surrounded by nuns. R.I.P.
