Another quite surreal post, it almost feels like I am writing about someone fictional... But it's all in the name of documentation for myself, and for the memory book. Plus when it all comes down to it, death is also a natural part of life, so why not write about it.
Since we had wanted to have the casket during the ceremony in the chapel, Dad would be cremated afterwards, and they had told us this could take up to two weeks. We had inquired if it was possible to haste the cremation procedure so that we could do the urn interment before it was time for me to go home, and they were very kind and accommodating.
One month after Dad passed we could do the interment this morning, on a beautifully sunny autumn day.

It was just Mum and me, rather unceremonial, but quite emotional. This was the last, last farewell.
Now we just have to wait for the head stone to be mounted, in yet another few weeks.
