Grandpa Delivers The Eulogy At His Funeral by Julia Bergin

Three years prior to his death, Grandpa and father began formal discussions for his funeral. Whilst they disagreed over size and music, there was consensus that Grandpa should speak on the day of his departure. In March this year, the funeral planning committee’s recommendations took effect; Grandpa addressed the congregation from his casket, delivering the eulogy at his own
funeral.

Heritage Cooking by Sarah Mashman and Lea Redfern

Tracing family history through time can be a shifting search through newspaper records or mailing off some hair for genealogy testing. Toni Burnett- Rands traces her heritage through cooking, through the recipes and traditions that she learnt from her Grandma Wilma and Granny Ivy as a child, and they learnt from their grandma’s before her.
