My wife's family typically has the body cremated as soon and as inexpensively as possible, with a rememberance gathering at a later opportune time. Then they keep the urns around the houses forever.
Momma and I have talked many times. Both of us agree on a quick and cheap cremation. As far as I am concerned the kids can flush the cremains down the schitter, or pour them into the drainage creek which runs through our property. Whatever, just don't leave the crap in a jar on the mantle.
But, we might not have much say in the matter. I suppose things will happen pretty much as our oldest daughter directs. I do have deeds in the safe, to six plots beside a brother who died in 1980, and beside the empty plots where my
Dad and stepmom will lie. If our daughter decides she needs to use them. She is much more emotional than Momma and I.
