In accordance with Cyril’s wishes cremation has taken place
here on the Coast at the Westland Crematorium.

Condolences to the Tomlins family. So sorry to hear of Cyril’s passing gone to be with Ethel. Will be nattering over the fence with dad (Ray Watson). I’m sure there will be plenty of yarns going on. 💐
