her husband, who plans to cremate her remains and bury the ashes without telling his in-laws when or where.

Parents excluded from the funeral? What a jerk. Father Pavone was right about this guy.

Father Pavone was very charitable in saying MS is cruel and heartless. And Felos whined like the devil at having been exposed to the light of truth.

The parents should just hold a memorial service on their own, I did that for my spouse whose body had been taken by the hospice and was being prepared for cremation. It is the spirt that counts not the flesh, nor the ashes. The ceremony was an appropriate closure.

Okay, I'll chime in on this one, and I'm actually on the husband's side on this one.

My brother was cremated after his death a few months ago. My sister-in-law has the ashes, and has not determined what she is going to do with them.

The memorial service was done before the cremation, and just a few days after my brother died.

Now, my sister-in-law is going to do something private with the ashes.

My brother knew he was dying, and they did make all of the arrangements beforehand. That's the main difference. My brother was not very religious, but my parents are devout Methodists, and my sister-in-law is a devout Catholic. She did everything the way my brother would have wanted it.

Keep in mind Father Pavone is a Christian Gentleman keeping the good father from really stating anything about this piece of trash. Michael Schiavo's day is coming though absolutely no one can dish out as much evil vile hatred as Michael has and escape unscathed.

I wonder what the freepers who were on Michael's side(although,they would deny it)think about him now? This is outrageous!
