[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 91053, member: 3626"] I'm glad you found some financial aid. I hope you're okay with cremation now. I know you weren't happy with that idea originally. I don't know if this will help, but here's my take on cremation. My body will feel no pain, so being a very hot fire won't matter. I really don't want my friends and family viewing me once dead -- I'd rather they remember the vital, happy person they knew. Being buried means taking up land that can be put to better use. Once I'm cremated, there are many options for my loved ones. They can stick me in a place that they can visit when they desire. They can keep me in an urn, vase or box at home if they so desire. They can drop parts of me in places that I had come to love while alive (yes, I know, they'd have to do this on the sly but that would be their choice and I would be happy just knowing they considered this). If I'm buried, there are no options except a hole in the ground. Sorry, I'd much rather become a bunch of ashes. In the meantime, I'm sorry you're having to even make these decisions. Losing a parent is painful. HUGS [/QUOTE]
