He was cremated. I have his ashes, but I rarely acknowledge the urn. The pictures I have around the house are better reminders.

I just saw this post, and I hope by now, you have your Mom's ashes and you have some peace.

She also told all 5 of us she wanted us to put her remains in the trunk of our cars, so she could travel & back seat drive us always.

My sister in law Kim, was horrified at the fact the 4 of us laughed loudly & long.

At the minute, Mom is still with my SIL & (the good) brother in a very nice urn on the table with family photos.


I'm okay with this.

Thank you Marthe for checking in.
