If not for the eyeglasses and men in suits, this looks like it could have been a 1,000 yeas ago.

What do the Shinto priests do?

Do all emperors have the suffix -hito to their name?

Cheerful mob, ne? Maybe they should start playing "Always look on the bright side of life" by Monty Python - as is popular in some UK/Aussie funerals. Might lighten the mob up a bit.

Well it IS a funeral. Having a royal title won't make the clock of life keep ticking, so RIP.
