Memorial Service for Sean Burns
Report and pictures from Sean's daughter Kelly Green
On Sunday 12th January 2025, the ashes of the late Administrator Sean Burns were laid to rest on Tristan da Cunha. Sean served as the island's Administrator during three separate postings, and also served on St Helena and Ascension Island. He dedicated around 13 years to the South Atlantic islands.
Sean Burns' ashes in St Mary's church during the memorial service.
In March 2023, Sean tragically suffered a stroke while on Tristan. Despite being medically evacuated, he sadly passed away at sea on 16th March 2023.
Church server Savanna Green is Sean's granddaughter.
The memorial service, beautifully led by Carlene Glass-Green, was integrated into the Sunday service. His ashes were then interred in the island cemetery. Sean's family was deeply moved by the overwhelming turnout and the heartfelt kindness shown by the community.
