ashes to ashes and dust to dust and all that jazz.
in a hundred years who will care about our ashes?
i say scatter the ashes to the wind and say a prayer to the heavens in thanks.
yeah i am not too big on funerals and such.
what should be a simple loving ceremony has, like many things, been commercialized and ridiculously so in some places.

Do you know what his wishes were? Some people take care of the burial services prior to.
And some prefer to be cremated, but have a small burial site picked out.
And some like to have their ashes scattered. -

I don't think there would be many men who would not be proud of serving with the Allied Forces during WWII. But perhaps you're right about him hating what he went through. But he's dead now and funerals and memorial services are for the living. If you have a service, have it in thanks of his service to his country. There should be local veterans organizations in the U.K. similar to the American Legion or VFW to advise you. And probably Australian ex-pats are there as well.
