The service was a blend of traditions.


This man is a close friend of Scott's parents. He played a beautiful aboriginal song on his flute. After the service, everyone came to pay their respects to Scott's dad and family. Their sincere sorrow for us was overwhelming.


Another tradition is for the family to decorate the grave with flowers people sent. It is one of the few things the family is allowed to do (the family is supposed to mourn, not work).
