[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 123632, member: 1514"] I agree with your thoughts Nancy. We seem to be big believers in cremation too at least in my side of the family. I am not at all sure what my fathers plans are anymore. I guess I will find out sometime. I kinda had to chuckle at whoever posted about the family member who kept the ashes with them in plastic bags. Ummm....I still have both my Grandmother and my Mom sitting here on a shelf in my family room because we simply cant figure out what to do with them! I inherited my Grandmother from underneath my Moms bathroom sink when Mom came to live with me. Mom had no service for my Grandmother when she died. She was simply cremated and the ashes returned to my Mom. I didnt find it all that unusual because my Grandmother came up from Florida to live with my Mom because she got sick and had no friends or relatives there other than us. Same thing when my Mom died here with me. We had a private family viewing before my mom was cremated so the boys could say bye and then nothing. Both husband and I have told the boys that we want to be cremated too. They have a running joke that they are going to mix my ashes up with my moms for all eternity so she can torment me in the afterlife too...lol. I will come back and haunt them! We are actually thinking of getting three small boxes made with 4 compartments...one for each of us...my grandmother, my mom, me and their dad. They can put a small amount of each of our ashes in each space and then scatter the rest anywhere they want. Personally I think my grandmothers should go down to Florida where her husbands are buried. My moms should go to Difficult Child so she can torment the government just like she did in life...lol. Their dad can be scattered in the ocean since he loved to fish...and me...just drive me to NYC and dump me along Broadway...I always wanted to go back...lol. [/QUOTE]
