His graveside service was carried out at Old River Church Cemetery in Wapwallopen. There were two service: the first was a typical [[Christianity|Christian]]-style service. Later, when the general public had left, members of the [[Coven of the Catta]] performed a second service in the [[Wicca]]n tradition. | |||
