[There is no rhyme or reason for the outfit Des shows up in, except for maybe pissing Burt off and living up to Jade's nickname for him. And for once in his life, he gets to be a badass longcoat instead of "that guy in the leather jacket over there."
He's clearly uncomfortable by the entire affair. Funerals have never been a good place for him- they're a cruel reminder of what's perpetually out of his reach and an even bigger reminder that he'll see every person he knows buried before he'll ever be the one in the box. But he's here and he promised Violet he'd speak. So there's no backing out now.
As soon as he gets to the door, he removes the hat out of respect and goes straight to his seat without saying a word or passing more than a cursory glance at Jade's body. Instead, he does spend a good deal of time glowering at Burt and the camera crews before he finally sits down.
It's only then he notices the flowers- sunflowers. Somehow it's their seemingly innocuous inclusion that makes him sink lower into his chair and start rubbing at his face with his hands.]
