location of the memorial meeting will be Hamilton Monthly Meeting House
(Quakers) , 7 Butty Pl, Hamilton, ON L8S 2R5 (wheelchair accessible) .

If you are planning to come and are thinking of visiting either Trevor
or Jennifer first, or planning to stay overnight in Hamilton please call
Jennifer Sanders at 519-538-2512 and we will try to coordinate things.
It may not be possible to see Jennifer before the memorial meeting as we
will be traveling down to Port Colborne to pick up Trevor and paintings
the day before. Trevor is about 1 hr and 15 minutes away from Hamilton
Monthly meeting. There will be a scattering of ashes by immediate family
only at a later date.
George was a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and
his memorial service will be in the style of Friends. George was a
prolific painter and it was his desire that his paintings be shared. We
will be bringing his paintings to give away.
If you have memories that you would like to share about George, Quaker
memorial meetings provide a space for this. There is no dress code for
Quaker memorial meetings. Some people choose to wear somber clothes,
others may wear regular street clothes.
As many people may not be familiar with the style of service I have
taken the liberty of copying form Philadelphia Monthly Meeting
(http://www.pym.org/publications/pym-pamphlets/friends-memorial-meeting/)

The Religious Society of Friends holds as the basis of its faith the
belief that every human being is endowed with a measure of the Divine
Spirit which may be directly experienced. Our manner of worship is an
outgrowth of this belief. We gather in quiet assemblies, mindful of the
words: “Be still, and know that I am God.” We come together in reverent
silence with the desire to draw nearer to God and to understand God’s will.
For Friends a memorial meeting is similar in many ways to a meeting for
worship. It is not only a time for sharing feelings of loss, but a time
of gratitude for the life of the departed person. We reflect on the
value of that life as it relates to the lives of all of us.
All present share in this. We sit quietly; at times an individual may be
moved to speak, to offer a prayer or a message that has come out of the
silence. All are welcome to do this.
The responsibility for the spiritual depth of the meeting rests with
each attender. Those who keep silence as well as those who give a vocal
message do their part when they yield their minds and hearts to the
guidance of the Spirit. The close of the meeting is signaled by
handshakes among those in attendance.
Friends hope that in the meeting for worship a consciousness of the
Divine Presence will come to every attender, to be a source of
direction, strength and comfort after leaving the meeting.
