When Grandfather was nearing the end of his life, he took great pains to plan his funeral. It seemed very morbid to us, but Grandfather was a man who lived in the details, and he wanted everything taken care of while he was alive to orchestrate it. After the funeral, he wanted the family and other close friends to travel to the ocean where his ashes would be cast into the sea as the bagpipes played a Scottish melody. Grandfather wanted all this done in an orderly manner, so he pre-paid a Coach Hire service for the occasion. When the day came, everything went off without a hitch. Grandfather would have been pleased.
