Funeral Details

Date: Saturday, December 9th, 2006

Location: OGDEN FUNERAL HOME - AGINCOURT CHAPEL
4164 Sheppard Avenue East
Agincourt, Ontario M1S 1T3
416 293-5211

Itinerary:
11A - 12P: Visitation and Reception (Food will be served during the reception but must be eaten in a separate room)
12P - 1P: Service
After the service, cremation will take place at Highland Funeral Home & Cremation Center.
Guests are welcome to witness the cremation (up to 80 people allowed).

Sending flowers:
All flowers should be delivered straight to OGDEN FUNERAL HOME and NOT to the Yip family's house. Delivery should take place friday night or saturday morning. There is a floral shop within walking distance to the funeral home called Alyssa Flowers & Plants [Tel: (416) 609 9202]. Please organize floral arrangements as a group -- rather than 80 small floral bouquets (or whatever they're called), it would be preferable to have 10 to 20 nice big floral decorations. I recommend we do this as high school friends, mech eng friends, ece friends, and everyone else (coworkers etc). Also please do NOT order online as this places a great deal of stress on both the floral shop and the funeral home.

Also please do not order any flowers that are bright red. Pink is fine, but Janet's family requests that bright red coloured flowers are not to be sent.

Slideshow:
There will be a slideshow at funeral, so anyone with videos or pictures of Janet please let me or Jennifer know. Pics can be emailed to janetyipphotos@gmail.com. Please do not email pictures to anyone's personal address so that they are not spammed.

Other details:
-There will be no religious readings, please do not plan anything of the sort.
-Janet's family would like everyone to think of this as a last Christmas party for Janet.

Dress Code:
Please dress appropriately for a funeral. This means somber formal dress.
