Funeral Dilemma - What would you do?

My Granny died last week. Her funeral is next Friday in Cromer.

The majority of my side of the family, including my parents, live in Scotland where travel restrictions are in force (5 miles) under Phase 1, and there is as far as I can tell no/minimal change to this under Phase 2 which is likely to come in on Thursday/Friday this week.

If we were to travel, individually with the exception of my parents, and were stopped by police the advice is that they would turn us around and send us home. However, should we make the border that wouldn't happen.

She was a wonderful woman who has been a major part of everyone's life in the family, but there is understandably some trepidation about the travel and the close contact - some of us haven't been out of the house except for daily exercise since around 13th March.

Would you risk the travel for a 30 minute service and the opportunity to properly say goodbye - or not travel and watch online knowing that you would probably regret not going?
