Sounds like bureaucracy
clinging to people's grief. I'm so sorry to hear about this but wish you light at the end of the tunnel

I don't think of death and dying as morbid. It is just as much a part of life as is birth. The costs for both are unbelieveable, and the details. Take care of yourself and don't let it all wear you down.

It's more practical than morbid; I too have decided on body donation. Thanks very much for sending healing for Ashish. Nita.

Skye what you propose with your choice at end, is exactly what my mother did. Before she died she had written this for all her children and for the staff at the nursing home. (in a chart) --- Her body was donated. Very kind staff member kept in touch with me and my sister; and when her ashes arrived after a year later, well, we still must intern her next to my Father in their plot - as my sister chooses. Now, my mother before she went into a coma simply asked me to blow her ashes into the ocean (near, where she was born)--- I was going to honor that however, my sister said it was not in writing and she was not happy that my mother wanted to be cremated in the first place. We are to intern her this March on my parents anniversary date. I plan to be cremated and am considering donation as well. It's not morbid to me, it's something that needs to be planned. I, in fact, have a little book hidden --- and my eldest and youngest daughter know that it has final notes in it.

It may be a bit morbid sounding dear one but better organised now while
you are having to do all this and then you can relax......someday soon.!! I am going to be cremated and my ashes scattered. Out to sea I hope.

I am the same way about cremation. I'm all for it....and I want a party, too. My sympathies to you and what you are going through right now.
