mily’s
ewell
After a short spell in
hospital where it became evident that his
bone cancer had moved
into ‘end’ stage, Will was
moved into a Hospice in
Windsor. He became
unconscious after a
week and remained in
that state for 6 days before dying. The family
were together for those
six days which gave
them time to plan and
decide what they wanted to do.
Caroline Barnett, a
humanist funeral
celebrant had talked
to Will about a month
previously about what he
wanted to happen.
He said he would like to
be as ‘eco’ as possible and
did not want a funeral but a
‘bloody great bash’ afterwards.
