Mat chose to be buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. Kimberly's brother gave a beautiful prayer dedicating Mat's grave. Before the prayer, family members and a few close friends wrote on Mat's wood casket. Now that's cool.
It is a cool thing to do. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Your pictures of him and his family are amazing. What a great treasure for them to have.
Great pictures Ellen, you always know how to capture the moment. All Evan and I can say is "Wow", this is a sad year for our ward that we loved so dearly!
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

That cemetery is a beautiful and restful place. I hope that it will be a place of comfort for his family and friends.
Thinking of you this weekend.
So sad...I do love the idea of writing on the casket.
Very cool, indeed. I hope these pictures will bring them happiness in the future - I know it has brought a smile to me.
Glad you got to be there and be a part of the service. Glad you got to be friends with him.
I am so sorry. I know you were very close with Mat and his family. My prayers are with you and them.

I'm with Stacey--thanks for recording the day, Ellen.
And, it warms my heart to think of people visiting Mat at Mt. Auburn. What a lovely place.
what a beautiful tribute to him.
Thanks for these amazing photos. Of course they made me burst into tears, but that's not so hard these days. xoxo
