Farewell
Photographs from Meri's cremation and memorial gathering.
The quiet end of a remarkable journey
The setting of Meri's cremation ceremony
Family and friends gathered at Meri's cremation ceremony
Meri's two sons mourning during her cremation ceremony
Meri's ashes resting in an urn beside her cherished portrait
Meri's brother carrying her ashes out to the open sea to scatter them
The sea is her home now — Meri's final resting place
Family gathered on the beach to light candles and say goodbye one last time
Candles glowing on the beach as the family bids Meri a final farewell
