Tragic Nellie Geraghty will be laid to rest on Wednesday – without the ashes of her beloved husband.
Hundreds of people are expected to line the streets as the funeral of the 79-year-old widow takes place.
Nellie died after being mugged in a Shaw alleyway on November 24. She was clutching the handle of her missing handbag which contained the ashes of her husband Frank.

21/12/2011 Tschechien will am Freitag im Veitsdom auf der Prager Burg von dem verstorbenen Ex-Präsidenten Vaclav Havel Abschied nehmen. Die Trauerfeier, zu der zahlreiche Politiker aus dem Ausland erwartet werden, sei für 12.00 Uhr angesetzt, erklärte Präsidentensprecher Radim Ochvat. Bereits am Montag erwiesen hunderte Menschen Havel die letzte Ehre.
It appears several Paphos mayor candidates considered that the Church is opposed to a crematorium for Cyprus, but both the Archbishop and the Bishop of Paphos have told me they believe it is a matter of individual choice - and neither would stand in its way.
The stumbling bock is unquestionably Central Government where, for several years, various Ministries have assured me the legal framework is “imminent” but almost a decade has passed with nothing emerging. However, a few months ago Law Commissioner Leda Koursoumba wrote to me saying legislation would be drafted in respect of funeral parlours, embalming, and crematoria before the end of this year.
De gemeenteraad van Lingewaard heeft ingestemd met de startnotitie crematorium. Daardoor is een kleinschalig crematorium – tot 800 crematies per jaar– mogelijk.
Met dat besluit is de weg vrij gemaakt voor uitvaartondernemers om met een plan te komen.
In principe mag overal in Lingewaard gebouwd worden, al zijn er wel voorwaarden. Er moet een eigen parkeerterrein bij het crematorium zijn en de afwikkeling van de verkeersstromen moet goed kunnen worden geregeld.

20/12/2011 Het was gistermiddag druk in het compleet vernieuwde crematorium Zoomstede.
Tijdens de open middag kon iedereen zien wat er na de grote verbouwing allemaal veranderd was. Vooral de grote, compleet nieuwe aula, maakte veel indruk. Met zevenhonderd zitplaatsen en met ondersteuning van een video- en tv-systeem kunnen daar volgens een voorlichter ruim duizend mensen een rouwdienst bijwonen. "Dit lijkt wel een theater, misschien kan deze ruimte ook voor andere doeleinden gebruikt worden", merkte een bezoeker op.
Sinsheim - Eigentlich wollte Investor Claus Wiesenauer diese Woche die Arbeiten am Krematorium im Reihener Gewerbegebiet "Oberer Renngrund" wieder aufnehmen. Doch daraus wird nichts: Das Verwaltungsgericht Karlsruhe hat bis zu seiner endgültigen Entscheidung in einem Eilverfahren einen vorläufigen Baustopp verhängt.

18/12/2011 Il dirigente dei servizi funerari Carmelo Passalacqua, che della materia è un supertecnico pur avendo anche un approccio umanistico-filosofico, parla di «esumazioni a tappeto». Ma l'espressione non deve inquietare, perché le conseguenze per i cittadini sono minime. La novità è che i resti dei defunti saranno sottratti alla terra (e in gran parte cremati) dopo i rituali 10-15 anni di sepoltura. Finora - i non addetti ai lavori lo ignorano - le spoglie dei defunti e le bare consunte dal tempo restavano nel camposanto (... "e polvere ritornerai") lasciando in maniera naturale posto ai "nuovi arrivati". Avviene dal 1826, data in cui fu costruito il cimitero monumentale.
