DD's beautiful funeral.

Merlot it sounds like a very lovely & fitting send off.

Much love & good wishes to you all.

Thank you so much, everyone. Ever since I posted on the Lent thread back in February about being angry with God I have been grateful for your lovely messages for the comfort and support they have given me. It seems so long ago now but in cancer terms, her illness was very short indeed.

After our hopes being dashed so many times I hardly dared hope for yesterday being the success it was (if success is the right word) but I knew she had an image in her mind of the perfect setting where we could all say goodbye and that's exactly what she got - and deserved.

We will be able to visit whenever we feel like it to witness the wildflowers blooming and fading as others take over. At the moment ox eye daisies are in full flower. I will also be able to photograph the evolving woodland which is still in its infancy. Tree planting takes place in late autumn and the DGSs have chosen an oak tree in her name. We will witness the changing seasons knowing she is very much a part of such a beautiful place and when our time comes that's where DH's and my ashes will be scattered.

Thank you all once again.

I hope that your family and friends got comfort from the ceremony. So sad for all of you.

Merlot that sounds like such a beautiful farewell to your beloved daughter. So, so hard for you. Thinking of you and your family at this sad time xx

What a very moving tribute Merlot and how beautiful it must have been.

I hadn't heard of the George Harrison song and have just printed part of it out to put in the envelope containing my own funeral arrangements. So many thanks for those inspiring words as well, I am sure they will comfort my son.

With much love to you, DH and your family.
