Michael and I decided over the summer that it was time to make arrangements for Owen’s ashes, which are currently in an urn at Michael’s home.

We visited Mount Pleasant cemetery yesterday, in mid-town Toronto. We purchased a niche – a box space made of granite, located in a free-standing wall constructed in the Garden of Remembrance. It will be many months before the engraving is completed to mark the space, and we haven’t decided yet when Owen’s ashes will be placed in the box. But it’s now ours, for placement when we’re ready.
