A pall has two meanings:




  1. the cloth that covers the casket at a funeral

  2. a dark cloud of some substance


while gloom usually means darkness (and sometimes has a connotation with things that look depressing).



I believe this phrase is trying to use the dual meaning of the word pall to say that a cloud of sadness fell over the attendees of the funeral (sorry, I cannot think of a way to phrase that any better so hopefully you understand) while also taking a nod at the funeral setting.



Since I am new to stackexchange, please tell me how I can improve my answer.
