I finally opened the box with my father's ashes. I needed a form that was in there. I didn't pull the box with the ashes out and just got a look that it is solid black plastic. He's resting now in my basement on my tool shelf. He liked tools so I think he would be happy there (and my house is too small to have another really good place).

The death certificate has about 8 causes of death, many of them things that would have killed him one at a time much less all at once.

Next is paperwork for his burial benefits.
