Shepard at Last Laid to Rest

The Washington Post reports that Matthew Shepard's parents have decided to have their son's ashes interred in the crypt columbarium at Washington National Cathedral on Friday, Oct. 26 (I don't know the time). The service will be open to the public, and I hope to attend.

Although visitors will not have access to the crypt, National Cathedral is reportedly considering the installation of a plaque that they would be able to view and touch.

A segment from the NPR show 'Here and Now' that includes bits from the choral piece Steve has mentioned, and material about The Laramie Project.
