How to contribute to sending flowers/condolences to Australia
MaineWriter:
Peachy,
I found this in an article from the New York Daily News:
Ledger, a rising star in Hollywood known for his brooding personality and complex roles, is expected to be buried in his native Perth, Australia.
Funeral plans remain shrouded in secrecy, but the Bowra & O'Dea funeral home in Midland Australia, is believed to be handling the arrangements.
The century-old funeral home is just a couple of miles away from Guildford, where Ledger attended grammar school in the 1980s.
Mike Ledger, Heath's uncle, told Australian news services that the family was still finalizing plans, but they were considering holding a private wake at Guildford Grammar.
Employees at Bowra & O'Dea were tight-lipped yesterday.
"I don't have any information I can tell you, sorry," a manager said when asked when Ledger's body would be received.

Thank you all, and thank you Peachy for organising it down in Perth and a thousand thanks Ellemeno and Fabienne for your kind words. I feel so honored and overwhelmed, I am shaking and crying. I was thinking of you all when I was at that Campsite, there were so many fond memories from the summer. This photo is from and for all of us.
I am so grateful for meeting you guys, and for your friendship, which I hope will last for ever.
It is true that I don't post much, I am not much of a communicator. Truth is, BBM has dominated my life every single day since my first viewing on 26 Jan 2006, couldn't quit it if I tried to. By making J&E so real, Heath and Jake took me to hell so that I could, finally, feel alive again. I owe them so much more than I can ever say, or comprehend myself.
I did like the photo of Heath / Ennis very much, it was so very relevant and it really is a shame we could not use it. (But I won't complain too loud ;))

{{{Mouk}}} Thank you so much for the beautiful photo and the effort involved in placing that memorial at the campsite. It's also so nice to see you here.
:)
And, again, cudos to Meryl and Peachy.

Meryl:
How wonderful it is to log on this morning and see all the comments here! Mouk, I'm so glad it worked out that your picture will be used. It's personal, beautiful and so moving. I can't wait to see what the finished notice looks like. 8)
Thanks, everyone, for your thanks. It's been a great priviilege to be of service to BetterMost and our Heath in this project. Thank you, Peachy, for stepping up to the plate and getting the job done so well. This is a much-needed balm after a very sad week. :-*
