Kerry, you'd better check - I've got an email that they couldn't process my order. :( :( I wish they'd phoned me! I hope yours went through at least.
I'm so, so sorry, Brokies. :( :( I hate telling you this.
So should I either put it through again for the cemetery at some point, or send the money back to you, Meryl?

Oh, bummer. :-\ You did what you could with the information we had available Peachy - so thank you. :-*
I'll leave this up to Meryl to decide....
Personally I would like for the order to be put through again for the cemetery. It doesn't matter that the flowers are not there at the day of the funeral... but I would like to think that flowers from us are laid down by his resting place at one point.

Oh, that's very disappointing. But it's certainly not your fault, Peachy. You made a valiant effort to do the best you could with the limited information that was released to us. I certainly don't think you should be lumbered with the cost.
I didn't give Interflora my e-mail address, when I placed my order. I gave them my mobile number and they assured me they would phone me if there was a problem with the delivery. I haven't received a call from them, so I'm hoping my flowers were delivered. The question is, I guess, where were they delivered to?
I've just checked my chargecard statement online and the Interflora debit was charged to my account yesterday. I'll phone their freecall number tomorrow morning.

Peachy, don't beat yourself up. You've done a wonderful job with all of this. Thank you.
As for a donation, I think it should be given to a group/organization/charity in Australia. Yes, Heath did live in Brooklyn, but it obvious that his roots are firmly planted in his home country.
We know he supported causes for AIDS and children. Is there a group in Australia that combines the two? Here in the US we have the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation...is there something similar in Australia?

Peachy:
I just did a search, MaineWriter. There’s the AIDS Trust of Australia which helps children.
Berit:
Or we could give it to kids and AIDS in Africa....they could use every dime they get.....kids are kids around the world.......
