"Somewhat uninspired"
ORF experts tear Richard Lugner’s funeral service apart
The funeral service for Richard Lugner took place in St. Stephen's Cathedral on Saturday. While the family and Austria bid farewell to the society builder, society experts on ORF criticized the memorial service during the live broadcast.
Among other things, Dennis Jale sang an adapted version of "Candle In The Wind", Norbert Hofer and Edith Leyrer gave eulogies. The family mourned Richard Lugner with Austria.
The funeral service was also broadcast on ORF 3 - society expert Lisbeth Bischoff and ORF journalist Roland Adrowitzer were guests. However, the funeral service for the Opera Ball zampano was not particularly well received by the two experts.
They were disappointed that the funeral service was "staged". "The funeral speeches were somewhat uninspired", they also explained. The "emotion was simply missing", they further criticized. Another negative aspect was that no one condoled with Simone's widow.
"To the point of embarrassment"
The fact that there was applause at the end of the funeral service when Richard Lugner's coffin was carried out of St. Stephen's Cathedral was even "a bit embarrassing", Adrowitzer finally sighed.
The ORF experts concluded: "Richard Lugner would probably have done things differently." However, the funeral service for the society builder showed: "Once a showman, always a showman - in life and in death."
Funeral in the family circle
Lugner died on August 12 in his villa in Vienna-Döbling at the age of 91. He had previously been struggling with health problems and had recently undergone a serious heart operation.
After a funeral service in the Kaasgraben church, the funeral was to take place in a crypt at the Grinzing cemetery in Vienna-Döbling with his closest family and friends.
