Dr was buried today in my parents' garden in Cornwall.
My father made him a grown-up coffin out of pine. My mother (Caroline on this forum) made a him a turquoise velvet pillow with DOCTOR embroidered on it and a matching velvet cover. Scarby and Riffy put some of their fur in with Dr; my mother put in a some of her hair and I gave Dr a strand of mine to hold between his paws. We also gave him a strawberry, some daisies and coriander and rosemary, and a card I wrote to him telling him how special he still is and how much he is loved.
On top of his grave are lilies, roses, tulips and daffodils, and also a lovely slate tile.
Darling Doctor, sleep well x
