How to contribute to sending flowers/condolences to Australia
ptannen:
I agree with running the notice a second time, trying to send flowers if it is possible, and donating the rest to a charity Heath supported or that his family recommends.
Thanks again Peachy, Meryl & Mouk . . . and everyone who has contributed!
It is such a wonderful and touching tribute and I’m sure Heath’s family and friends will agree.

Heath's parents divorced when he was around ten years old and subsequently married other people. Ashley Bell (born in 1989) is the daughter of Heath's mother (Sally) and her new husband (Roger Bell). Olivia Ledger (born in 1997) is the daughter of Heath's father (Kim) and his new wife (Emma Brown).

Thanks so much, Fran, for that.
Well, hunh. If Heath thought of them as his sisters, seems highly disrespectful that others aren't including them with the named family members.

I think that whilst we won't know which funeral home is dealing with the arrangements, Bowra and O'Dea will (even if it is not them). We could send flowers there and simply ask Interflora to add on a note saying that they have to be passed onto the family. That way, we still won't know where the ceremony will be held but the flowers would find their way into the correct hands.
Just a thought.

Thanks for straightening me out, Fran!

I love this notice, you have no idea how much! And I can't believe the cost - by all means post it again, we'll still have money for flowers and a charitable donation.
On that....

About charities: I believe someone mentioned that there was some web site that described charitable interests of various celebrities? I think that it said that Heath's involved children and AIDS.
So here's an idea. Are there any charitable organizations that support opportunities for Australian kids to get involved with acting/theater? Not acting school - I mean, Heath didn't go to acting school - but groups that support theater programs in schools, or summer programs, or anything that lets kids experiment with acting?

It also makes such a difference in our ad standing out to have an image at all in the midst of all the different text ads. Looks gorgeous Brokies.

I agree - and so touching - all the other notices for Heath.
