I'm posting this in a separate thread to ensure that as many people as possible see it... The following is part of an Email from Alastair's father which at his request I am posting here.

I wonder if you could do another favour for us. Various Trainz people have asked when the funeral would take place. I think they might be wanting to pause for thought at that time. If it is appropriate, could you post the information on the Forum?
Funeral service - Thursday 4th October at 10.00am at Barham Crematorium near Canterbury. It is a truly beautiful place only a few miles away from where his railway locomotive is kept and anyone who wishes to attend will be very welcome. At the service, Alastair's love of railways, trains and the people who run them will be commemorated. We are asking for family flowers only but if anyone feels they wish to make a donation, we suggest such donations be given to the autistic society/trust in the locality of the donor. Our funeral directors (Co-operative Funeral Care - 65 Sturry Rd., Canterbury, Kent CT1 1BU 01227 463067) are collecting local donations which will go to the Kent Autistic Trust. Because of his Asperger's syndrome, some aspects of Alastair's life were difficult and we are hoping to help improve the lives of others with similar problems.
