    I have requested that my ashes be scattered on waters of a beach we often used when a bit younger.
    But as the tide goes out or I may be coming back.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    With us so far from the Sea, i have requested that my Ashes now be scattered in the Blue Mountains , there is a lovely small Fals within the Walk at Katoomba, that is where we also scattered ashes for an Aunty . Lovely Scenery and so peaceful.
    Before that at the Service (Cremation) my Coffin will be covered with two Flags, that of the Royal Air Force, and the Merchant Navy, half and half!
    The Flags i have on hand for quite some time now!
    Cheers
