I have Birtwistle ancestors and they hail from that part of Lancs....I've traced the family line back to 1500. If he's one of ours, maybe I can get a discount. Only joking.

When my dad died, half of his ashes were scattered in a Memorial Garden in Accrington, the other half I took out to Arizona and scattered there. He was particularly fond of that state and his "headstone" often appears in movies and ads.

For myself, I plan on being cremated. Dad always said it was the most sanitary way to go. My remains will be scattered on family owned property here.
