Though Ammu, Estha and Rahel were allowed to attend the funeral, they were made to stand separately, not with the rest of the family.
It was the kind of time in the life of a family when something
happens to nudge its hidden morality from its resting place and make it bubble to the surface and float for a while.

Benefit
His family were once-wealthy zamindars who had migrated to Calcutta from East Bengal after Partition.

Mammachi, though annoyed at his drunkenness, wasn't averse to listening to bardic stories about herself and her family's Christian munificence.
He was trained to be a carpenter by her family, the house he lived in was given to his grandfather by her family.

By the time Chacko emigrated to Canada, the family's only income came from the rubber estate that adjoined the Ayemenern House and the few coconut trees in the compound.

As though something in their family genes had bestowed on them compulsory bumps that appeared randomly on different parts of their bodies.
