Dear Cass,
Thanks for the link.......have had success already.

As an aside, I recently completed my Funeral Celebrants course and we spent a very full morning at Woronora having the full tour including the back rooms.........fascinating, thoughtful and so reassuring.

Cheers
Siouxsie ;D

Hi Siouxsie

Rookwood has an open day every year, and a couple of years ago I did the "behind the screen" tour of the crematorium, it was very interesting to learn about the procedures they follow.

all the best for 2010
