Rory reports on his first day at Horsham High School. The funeral business of McPherson & Clark moves to the new premises. Rory makes early good progress with the piano at Ivy's place. Ivy is invited to be the organist for the opening ceremony with 75 guests present. After the various speeches and the formal opening by the Mayor of Horsham there is a demonstration of a coffin exiting through the landscaped garden. Ivy surprises everyone by her choice of music for this demonstration.
