Oh, okay, I had misinterpreted what you wrote. I knew who was present from my own research, but I read your "The minimal attendance he requested consisted of ..." as *Fritz* requesting there be a priest, his successor, and, well, I couldn't figure out where the Chancellor fit in. I was so confused by the increasingly implausible list of people Fritz supposedly requested that I had to ask for a source. If what you meant was that in 1991, the relevant Germans decided those people should be present and that that would meet Old Fritz's "minimum attendance" requirements, that makes infinitely more sense.
Every time I read his last wishes (and I've read every English article I could find on the 1991 reburial, plus I think some German ones--Chrome is nice because it automatically translates as soon as I open the tab), Fritz's minimal attendance requirements are presented as "one lantern, no one following, and definitely no major television spectacle the next day. :P"
