Death Notes
Mom and I met with the pastor at St Johns this morning.
Dad's funeral is scheduled for Friday 19-Sep-2014 at 12:00 at St John's Anglican church in 8th Avenue, Walmer.
There will be tea/coffee/refreshments served after the service.
The coffin will be in the church when people arrive, i.e. no pallbearers at this stage, but at the end of the service the pallbearers will move it out to the hearse. Pallbearers suggested were Keith, Nial, Marcel de Lauwere and Barry Bradfield. Optional were Ricc and Michelle (if they comes) or Mark Exley (but he hasn't been asked yet and it could be anyone if someone is needed to make up an even number).
Dad indicated he did not want flowers and Mom had an idea today that maybe we could get a scout flag either on a stand next to the coffin or draped over it. Tiny Packward has been in touch and we'll contact her, or someone she nominated, to ask. The pastor is/was also involved in scouts and was happy with the idea.
We mentioned that Nial will do the eulogy and Keith will say/read something. A suggestion was made re asking attendees if anyone had anything to say, but not too sure about this.
Mom has also suggested that we invite people who want to come to the house afterwards or later that day for a drink to do so.
Ashes sprinkled over family grave (no space left)
