My brother Harry passed away in December 2011, In Maori culture the grave is veilled (without a headstone) and left for 12 months until the headstone is mounted. I was unable to attend the unveilling ceremony so Jovy (sister-in-law) and Lorna-Jen (my niece) kindly sent me these photos.

Apparently it was a lovely but of course sad occasion with many of Harry's family in attendance.
Thanks for sharing the photos with us all too Mum!!
