15yrs after he died! I have a large and complicated family - I am product of his 2nd marriage. All the children (there are 6 of us and 14 Grandchildren) get on well and have never been resentful of each other - (let our parents get on with that nonsense iykwim).
Anyway one of my sisters has taken bull by horns and suggested a place in the N. York Dales for a scattering and get together in the Autumn. It is near where she and her dh go for hols but we don't mind that as she has 7 kids so organising anything for all of them is quite a feat - and the place she has in mind is significant for all of us.
Anyway to get to the point - I wanted some inspiration for the day - what do you do when you scatter ashes - read a poem? Play music? We are a bunch of Heathens so want no religious significance but I want to mark the occasion properly. Do we need permission to do this? Is there a way we can mark the spot without harming the landscape? Has anyone done anything like this?
