Gene Burgham Funeral

It’s difficult to know how to describe Gene Burgham, who died on 8th July. A “tour de force” goes some way to cover it. Whilst I remember her as the head’s PA during the 80s, that title hardly does justice to the role she played at the school. These days, the Crypt and all other schools have some form of Pastoral care within their governance structure. It’s probably fair to say that Gene played that role at the Crypt (as well as many others), before anyone realised schools actually needed it, in a way that would defy the demands and strictures of current times. For that reason, she is remembered fondly by thousands for former pupils and was also an honorary member of the Old Cryptian’s Club. Details of her funeral are below.
If you can’t make it, but would like to watch (either live or ‘on-demand’) the service, please email ad***@ol**********.org and we will pass on the request to her dauther Louise and share details. Simon S
