I can't understand why people can't except other peoples beliefs until they do we'll have war.
Just want to share my experience before you make your final decision. My father was cremated, we still had a memorial service for him. Some of his ashes we,re spread in an area he loved. Some we're put small urns for each of his loved ones (the ones who wanted them). My sister had a small amount put in a special locket that the funeral home provided and prepared. I still have a small amount for when we go to our favorite vacation spot. There are lots of inexpensive ways to "remember" for this was an issue for use. Our paster was concerned that we would not have a place to grieve. I am still unsure of the decisions we've mad (and it's been six years) sometimes I wish we had a grave site to visit. Also can a person rest in piece when they are not properly placed? We were taught to believe that once we leave our bodies we are no longer of this earth, but sometimes I wonder. Just wanted to share some of my ideas and regrets while you are still deciding. I know this is a hard time, it's almost as if it's not really happening and it's hard to make a clear headed decision during these tuff times, and when you look back you might have some regrets (as I do now). I hope my response was not to morbid this is such a sensitive subject and if I have offended I am truly sorry. I am sorry for your loss.
