Pinellas Park, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Michael Schiavo plans to keep the location of where he will bury Terri Schiavo's ashes a secret and will prevent Terri's family from knowing. His brother told the media on Thursday that Terri's family would show up and cause a spectacle if they found out.
"If Mike knew they would come in peace, he would have no problem with it," Scott Schiavo, Michael Schiavo's brother, told AP.
A complete autopsy will be performed on Terri's body by the local county medical examiner's office. Once that is completed, Michael plans to have Terri's body cremated and her ashes buried in Pennsylvania.
Scott told the Associated Press the ashes will be buried in a burial plot left to Michael by an aunt and uncle.
"We've already said goodbye," Bobby Schindler said when asked about not knowing where his sister would be buried.
Concerning Michael's latest decision snubbing his family, Bobby said, "He's been doing this kind of stuff for 15 years. What would make him stop now?"
Terri's parents fought for years to stop the cremate, citing Terri's Catholic religious beliefs, and asked Judge George Greer to allow Terri to be buried in Florida, closer to her family. Greer declined both requests.
Terri's parents and her family did not discuss the burial issue during their remarks to the media following Terri's death. However, Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who has been helping the family during the last two weeks, said they would hold a Catholic mass for Terri even though they will not have her body present.
The mass will take place sometime next week.
A spokesman for the Pinellas County medical examiner's office said Terri's body would be given to Michael on Friday for the cremation process to begin.
The autopsy on Terri's body may yield a preliminary look in two to three days but the office will not have final results for two to three weeks.
Yuppers, and wasn't dying till they starved her.
There is no reason to Anglicize that name.
Terri's soul is resting in peace. Her killers believe that her death will pull people to their "right to die" cult but I don't. They point to everyone making out living wills, medical power of atty., etc. As for me, I will never forget that a handicapped woman was starved to death while HOSPICE stood by and assisted. There name is tied so tight to this case that they will never recover.
Until a few weeks ago, Hospice conjured up warn and wonderful memories of the nurses who helped my family at several different times. I understood that they took only patients who were in terminal condition (prognosis of six months or less) and always thought that they were angels of mercy who supported the patient and family when someone was dying.
Everyone talking about this sad story now knows that Hospice is not just for the truly terminally ill, but also an active partner in killing healthy people.
< I sincerely pray that Terri's autopsy will reveal either signs of abuse, or evidence that she was not in PVS. >
Personally, I don't care if the diagnoses IS or WILL be PVS. I saw the video. The heck with the doctors. She was responding.
There are enough prayers for everybody.
Note to self: learn how to use italics.
I meant to say:
"I don't think so. This seems to be the kind of guy who has himself convinced (he is right) and surrounds himself with like-minded folks."
This also sounds like all of the pro-lifers on the Terri threads in FR...
This is not an option the Catholic Church offers. The cremains must remain intact for burial.
Like John Belushi's and Jim Morrisons'?
Taking the emotions aside, if you analyize this case like a murder it all points to Michael Schiavo.
Uhh, unless that's how his family pronounces the name.
There should be a Congressional investigation of this whole matter, including the corrupt hospice scam industry and the cults and unsavory people involved with it.
Is there something wrong with making her burial place a pilgrimage site?
I hope the same sort of thing happens with Hillary in the months prior to the 2008 election!
It is possible, depending on the findings, that the family could obtain possession of and have a Catholic funeral for the viscera (now in the control of the ME). Michael will only have ashes of the somatic shell.
And oh, the lengths they went to, to ensure her killing was "beautiful." The cards, the flowers, the music, the stuffed animals. After Mikey had kept her in a dark, silent void for the better part of a decade.
Judging from the rest of his behavior and the mental signs that have gone with it, it would not be surprising at all if he doesn't have a clue regarding the correct pronunciation of his own surname.
good
shy-voh, shy-ster... has a ring to it
