I don't know all the terms, but there is a spot for my dad's whole family, for their ashes. So It's like this huge structure, with a little compartment for everyone's ashes. I remember we had a memorial for my grandpa about a year after he died, because that was when everyone could get together, and it didn't matter how long we waited because the ashes weren't going anywhere. Also, he died of Alzheimer's, so he had kind of been gone for years already at that point.Amy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240262331193821446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516488777599629236.post-11057353047262420242012-09-23T16:31:20.569-07:002012-09-23T16:31:20.569-07:00You should read the book Stiff!

The last chapter the author focuses on what she would like done with her remains, and finally comes to the conclusion that she doesn't particularly care, so whatever her husband wants done is fine with her. I sort of felt the same way. I'm fine with organs being donated to science (or even my whole body, really), but Craig was pretty uncomfortable with that, so I told him he was the one who had to live with the decision, so I didn't care.<br /><br />It sort of IS an interesting thing to think about though, huh?Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895073619356841356noreply@blogger.com
