Gently Rest Beloved Mother


Mum’s ashes were placed in a beautiful Sri Lankan marble urn adorned with engraved gold leaf lettering on the seventh day. The urn was then taken to the Mount Erskine Columbarium where she had a niche next to Dad?s.

The Prayer Group from the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit came to sing hymns and offer prayers to lay Mum’s remains to rest for eternity. Gently Rest Beloved Mother, for you are home with your Lord now.
