But, If it helps the family financially then just go ahead and deep fry me. I'm like you and know It is only a body while my soul will be in heaven. That's all that matters. However, I have made a request that I do not want to be put inside a wall!!!<br /><br />nite<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-6945419781124366172018-08-12T17:54:45.970-04:002018-08-12T17:54:45.970-04:00I can still see SHirley in her eyes.

And I think that is a sin and we don't have it.<br />We talk a lot about it. And when a person is burned in a fire - I am sure they go to Heaven - if they are Christians. <br />So that is what we are going to do.<br />Then we do have a plot - we will put a marker with both our names and dates for genealogy purposes - we have already paid for it.<br />We are leaving our ashes to Kelly.<br />There are cheaper places than 1800 here - so we will go there and then maybe have a memorial at church - who know. Who cares as long as I am with Jesus.<br />May i ask you a question? My brother was cremated - probably twice the size of you sister. I looked in his box and they were bone chips not ashes at all. I was wondering is that what your found? I ask this because people act like spreading ashes is easy - but spreading bone chips not so easy.<br />We bury my brothers cremation.<br />Sorry to ask so many questions.<br />What do you believe Jack - cremation or not?

My former husband chose cremation/burial at sea (Neptune Society). <br /><br />I suppose you could have called me a 'careless Christian' … I'd never heard a disparaging comment about cremation. I will never EVER forget the December night in '81 when my mother asked my Uncle Lu (Lutheran pastor), if he believed cremating his brother (my dad) was "OK with the Church?" <br /><br />Lately I've become aware of - and like the option of 'becoming a tree' -- https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/03/world/eco-solutions-capsula-mundi/index.html <br /><br />While I've not discussed it with Tom or my son, I chronicled that as my choice. Better that I (er, a tree) live on in a pretty park, a memorial forest … even son's back yard than in a lonesome cemetery waiting for loved ones to visit. <br /><br />Shirley's graduation photo is so lovely! Like others have said, I appreciate your sharing her with us.

I'm with you...our soul departs and what is left is the body. Hopefully we'll all be in a much better place and those left behind have to deal with the details.

We're ...I love Shirl's graduation picture!<br /><br />We're thinking cremation here. To me, I just don't want to spend the money to get buried. But who knows what will happen when the time comes for the one that is left to make the final decisions(unless we pre-plan something). <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-3118076634270265202018-08-12T00:30:20.280-04:002018-08-12T00:30:20.280-04:00Jack as you know Grover was cremated. I don't ...Jack as you know Grover was cremated. I don't think it to be a wrong thing to do. It is much cheaper. I did pay more since I went through the funeral home and had a memorial service. It is comforting to know he is still here with me if he is in a box. I did buy a beautiful box for his ashes. I ask about the cost of a plot to bury our ashes when I pass away and he told me it would be $1000. a plot not sure if I would have to buy two. (Shawn thought so) I'm planning on talking with them more about this. Prayers for Rick, Sheila and the Yarbrough family Rick’s dad passed away this morning.
