Juxtaposing her vivid, wild imagination of her life with a very orderly contained funeral service
"sparrows became vampires" she had a vivid imagination - used to make things up
dreamt up some amazing scenarios - "fords on the M4 upside down"
she died - her funeral didn't reflect her personality - death can't capture a person's personality
contrast between her wild imagination and the finality of her death - she's not here anymore - gone forever
Abse imagines her in heaven telling more "tall stories" to saints in heaven
religion is the save and grace of the poem - through a belief in God he finds solace in his aunt's death
