His ashes will, if plans proceed, be buried with ZeitMater when she pops her clogs.

Don't remember it being a "thing" when dad died (20 years ago), but the crem had marked the spot, so mother went in the same hole (mostly - a little bit of her got wiped on my jeans) Lovely morning for it and a very informal thing, not at all upsetting - glad we did it.

Dad went under an apple tree in the orchard of the National Trust property he volunteered at after he retired. Nothing formal, we dug the hole ourselves and there was nobody else there but us.

Mum has not so far expressed a preferance.

I'm inordinately tired today

I'd have a nap, but I'd just end up sleeping until the evening, then be unable to get to sleep tonight

Dinner's coming along. The steak will have finished thawing soon, and stage 2 of chip preparation has been completed
