Tony carries urn from downstairs family room to patio, while all sing “In the garden”. Tony places the urn in the wagon.
Spreading of ashes
We will be scattering about half of the cremains. The other half will be kept in the urn, in Jean's possession, for later mixing with her cremains, according to her wishes.
- All proceed to these locations in this order (adjustments will be made as attendance firms up).
These locations are places where Jack spent considerable time and effort, and took pride in. The trees listed are trees that he planted.
- Hymn singing will continue throughout from the list below, and as they come to mind.
...
In the same order, (Jean, Marianne, Cherith, Michelle, Tony, Kim, Trista, Marcus, Dee, Addy), and in turn, all select a silk lanyard, a capsule, and a fill tube with cremains for personal remembrance. It is our hope that at a later date, when Jean and Jack's cremains are to be mixed, all here will reassemble, empty their individual fill tubes into that mix, and then refill the tubes after mixing with the combined cremains.
