The remains of Miss Aise Clegg makes the final journey out to the Copeland Island, off the coast of Donaghadee.
A Belfast Telegraph article from 28 February 1964 gives more information on Miss Clegg's funeral and burial:
'A MOTOR-BOAT chugged out from Donaghadee to-day carrying old Aise Clegg to her last resting place. For the 87-year-old spinster's dying wish was that she should be buried on the now deserted Copeland Island.
There, four miles off the mainland in the North Channel, Aise spent most of her life. She and her brother, Fred, lived happily on their small farm. But 11 years ago the elderly couple were forced to leave their island home because of ill-health.
Just a year ago, Fred died and was buried in the family grave on the Copelands. And on Wednesday, Miss Clegg died in Lisburn Hospital.
Fishermen looked on in Donaghadee to-day while the old woman's coffin was carefully carried on board the motor-boat in the harbour. Across a choppy sea boatman James Bunting led the funeral procession to the Copelands. There the service was conducted at the graveside by Rev. John Glenfield, of Shore Street Presbyterian Church. He said later : “Miss Clegg always loved the island. She always wanted to go back there.”'
