@OpposingOpposum With land being so precious now,cremation seems to be the only alternative. When my wife died 10 months ago,money was tight,they(the funeral homes) wanted about $4K for a normal funeral,my stepson and I donated her body to science,and received her ashes a month later,I've some in urn nearby.

@Mike1947 which is actually pretty nice to have her nearby. or you could spread her ashes somewhere beautiful that she loved to be!

@SukiSue I spread some where we lived for 14 years in Springfield Mo,gave some to her son,and I've got some here.This is my late wife,she was a letter carrier for 33 years in San Diego Ca.[agnostic.com]

@SukiSue We were never at all religious,yes a few crosses on our hallway ,but not Church goers.

@Mike1947 Aw! A true beauty! I love her red lips! I can't imagine walking that much for 33 years. I'm so sorry for your loss.

@SukiSue So,it's been 10 months now,I still get weepy sometimes,less as time goes on,going to wait a full year(Sept) before the search for another good Woman begins.

@MissKathleen Sure,anything I post,can be shared or copied.
