My partner of 43 years wanted his body to go for medical education purposes and our daughter and I wished to be present at his cremation which took place on 19 March at 9.15am at South Croydon crematorium. The whole event was carried out in a peaceful atmosphere and with great dignity. Ian was given great individual respect and all the staff were thoughtful and supportive. We are so pleased to have been with him on his final journey. I thought the whole proceedings were beautiful. Thank you for looking after Ian so well and helping both of us. We will treasure the memory. Julia and Rebecca
