Making funeral arrangements for the deceased is hard to do. I expect to get hit by the beer truck sometime before January so I’ve been trying to make arrangements for my own Viking funeral so it’s a slam dunk and prepaid for.
I don’t need much as I’ve opted for plain cremation no services or reception. The only thing I want is for my son to know it’s my body being creamated by itself and my son is receiving my ashes. That’s been difficult to do because of the ashes ready for delivery after creamation is a bit long. It exceeds the five days he’s going to have to travel
So for me I look at the families of the deacesed and loved one having the responsibilities for carrying out the wishes.
Let your son know that there’s a disclaimer that some of the ashes in your urn came from other people.
I had an employee that worked part time at a funeral home and he tell all these stories. Some judge had died and the family got a court order to make the funeral home clean out the oven so that their dad’s ashes were not mixed with anyone else’s.
He would tell how you could hear the grease popping when the body was from a large fat person. Then how they have to grind all the knuckle bones that don’t burn completely.
