The final party: announcing Matt's burial service

On Saturday, August 6 at 11am we will have a memorial and burial service for Matt at Sacred Heart of Mary cemetery in Boulder. We held a funeral service for Matt after he died, but it was very sad because, of course, we were all pretty much in a state of shock. Now that we've all had some time to digest the experience of losing Matt, we can celebrate his life with a more festive memorial service. There will be prayers and music and readings, we'll bury Matt's ashes in a place with a beautiful view of the Flatirons, and in keeping with Matt's love of cooking and eating, we'll share a meal. We've circulated flyers and emails, and everyone is welcome.


Here's a view of the cemetary looking towards North Boulder. Matt's great grandmother, Edythe Zurewich, and great aunt, Mary Ellen Conway, are also buried here. Matt will be buried beside his cousin, Emma Willey, who died when we all lived together in North Carolina.
