In some European countries, the bicycle hearse is a option for those choosing a more quiet and green burial. This is a fantastic choice for families when moving from a church to a cemetery only a few meters away. Mourners can walk alongside the hearse, moving at a comfortable pace and take their time to their loved one's final resting place.

On July 1, Hong Kong celebrated the 25th anniversary of the handover as a tropical cyclone headed towards the city. The typhoon signal 8 was hoisted and remained in force through most of the day on July 2. There were reports of fallen trees, work was cancelled for most and transportation was limited.

However, we carried on and successfully helped a family commemorate a loved one that day.

Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led to those
Who help us most to grow if we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So, let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine
By being my friend

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you

Because I knew you
I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done, you blame me for
But then I guess
We know there's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood (in the wood)
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
I do believe I have been changed for the better
And because I knew you
Because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
