Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: At no point is a microphone visible in that scene. At least, not when properly cropped for widescreen.
It's when the boy says, "It's lovely and warm, he didn't say goodbye to us," while his sister pours the first container of water over him. My copy was originally videoed from the TV in the 1980s, so the mic might have been "airbrushed" out in later copies.
More likely, your copy was broadcast full frame. The image was meant to be cropped at the top and bottom when shown in theatres.
