My actual counter to this, though, would be logistical. I’m not sure on this, but with the amount of policemen, citizens, government officials, family/friends, media, etc, UVU might’ve been the most reasonable location to have the funeral.
And taking that many people on a frontage road to Santaquin would create it’s own set of major problems.
Maybe if we factor up all the pros and cons, it really was the best thing to do.
