This was done after friends and
family had seen the deceased for the last time. They then travelled
over 2000 miles with the casket to the familys’ chosen burial place. Undisclosed to protect gravesite.
Having arrived at the graveyard a small ceremony was held, after
which the final preparations were made for transmitting hardware and
lighting units. All went according to plan (at first) and the casket
was lowered just after lunchtime April 15th. 2004. The Cam tests were carried out
at the site and the grave was sealed! They then set off back to their
office in the heart of Seattle.
From their base in Seattle
they should have been able to control
the lighting
and
‘refresh rate’ of the camera equipment.
Unfortunately, they had problems from the start, lighting and mounting
issues meant that the cam was not only almost impossible to see but
also the zoom mal-functioned. So they were forced to move to a new location.
