According to the publication, the invites included strict instructions for attendees to not reveal any details about the funeral to others. An attendee told that there would be no wake after the burial and that “The family just wants it to happen without any of the attention his death has attracted, which has understandably been overwhelming.” They continued: “They’re trying to keep it as personal as they can. It’s critical they be given the space to do that.” It is understood that Jock’s coffin was covered with the Royal Banner of Scotland — a nod to the Glasgow-born-and-raised chef’s Scottish heritage — and white orchids. Jock’s family were living in Melbourne during his role on MasterChef Australia, however, the funeral was hosted in Sydney. It’s understood that Sydney is where Lauren is from and it’s where her extended family are based, as well as being where Jock first moved to from Glasgow 23 years ago.
