When Jess and her parents are back at their cottage, spirit of Grandpa and coherent with that, the River Boy, is gone from this place. The ceremony at Braymouth of Grandpa is very simple and there are no things Grandpa wouldn't have liked.
The evening, back at the cottage, the family talks about what to do with the ashes of Grandpa. Jess decides with the agreement of her parents to do that what Grandpa would have said to do with him:
The next morning she takes the urn and goes up the hill to the waterfall where she met the River Boy for the first time. There she lets the ashes fall down the waterfall and dives after it.
My thoughts while reading:
I think that this chapter describes the feelings that you have when well known people leave you on your way through your life very well. It's really true that you're caught in memories and pictures of adventures you spent together with that person and that you see him in front of you, looking at you and doing usual things.
To my mind it's also good described that you want to give a dead person you loved the best last resting-place which he would have wanted and which fits to him.
To put it in a nutshell I think that this chapter expresses well the thoughts of a person or of families who lost an important person of their life.
