Update
Update I posted late last year about my mother taking ill, she died on the 2nd of January. As you can imagine it's a pretty miserable time, and I'm overwhelmed by it all. I took over the tenancy of the house, it was rented. Utility bills, cancellation of all state benefits, pensions etc and it seems as if you just were making progress when something else was going to come along. My mum wasn't what you would call rich, but even if she had been she wanted the very simplest of funerals or cremations. She didn't agree with these ceremonies that lasted a short time and cost thousands, and to be honest neither do I. IMHO once you're gone, you're gone. I know that might shock some people especially the more devout but even if you have strong religious beliefs the body is after all just a shell. We have no famiiy plots in any graveyards, and its something that in a small country like the UK is becoming increasingly rare. I've heard some countries in Europe, even family plots are exhumed after a time and the site 'recycled' for the use of the further generations in the family, whether thats true or not.....I don't know. ANYWAY, a cheap and simple cremation was done, initially I was going to have the ashes scattered at the crematorium but somehow, something was niggling me that if I didn't have them back I would regret it later on. Whether I scatter them myself, keep them, or whatever I haven't decided. One things for sure, I wouldn't try and scatter ashes in the weather we've been getting. The photo showing what it's been like lately. Appreciative of the more mature lady. |

I have to agree with you funerals are very pricey. I think you will be happy with yourself that you decided to get your mothers ashes until you decide what to do with them. When the time is right you will know what you will want to do. LadyTeddieBear
