Memory eternal to Iakovos, the Hierarch!

I watched the funeral online and followed on the text provided. I haven't been to an Orthodox funeral yet. After watching JPII's funeral, this was very much simpler. Too bad they didn't also video the Last Kiss and just more coverage of the services in general. The celebrants and the chanters seemed a little timid (camera shy?) for an Orthodox service.

btw, I searched goarch but didn't find any info on the former Archbishop since he retired. I was just wondering.
