The funeral parlor 4 days later on the 4th of the month 2014.
Burning the incense for a buddhist farewell. Nothing fancy compared to the in house fluted fireplaces in larger cities like Melbourne.
Arriving at the cemetery in Fremantle in the hearse followed by the stretch limousine for 7.
The last drive to the crematorium.
At the wake in the Chocolateria San Churro that evening. Lots of chocolate dips, hot chocolates and churros to replenish the low sugar supply after the long day.
What kept our energy levels up. The churros and the samba music for more then 20 people so we could celebrate the passing of a good man. No calorie counter tonight.
Gifts for colleagues who had helped with the the final few weeks.
Buddhist farewell & prayers were performed by close friends. Apparently a donation of $1500 is provided for the temple of buddhist monks who attend according to a friend from Melbourne.
Collect the ashes from the crematorium then a final journey by plane for a burial in the family plot in the northern hemisphere far far away.
