We're arranging Dad's funeral for next Friday (a little later than might be normal, but there are several people who'd like to make it but wouldn't be able to if it was this week or early next). He's having a humanist service, and will be cremated in an eco-coffin. It's biodegradable thick cardboard which we're having painted with honey bees and hives, grass and flowers and a blue sky. His name will appear across a hive.
I think he'd have liked that. A gardener and a beekeeper is how most of us remember him.
