This is a photo of the urn that Pennan (me), Duncan, Gail, and Karolina made for Chips's ashes. It is made from bamboo grown on the farm in Hawaii. The centerpiece features a breadfruit pattern, one of Chips's favorite trees. We thought that using materials found on the farm was a good way to honor my dad who was proudest of his projects completed using only "in-stock" materials. We had a simple ceremony on the farm during which we spread his ashes around the roots of a new orange tree that we planted in a spot on the farm with a distant view of the ocean. He always looked forward to fresh squeezed orange juice from the farm trees.
