Forever Home
 
Where are you going to spend forever?
Was talking with our kids and mentioned that we are planning on being cremated when the time comes and are currently looking for a place to be interred at the cemetery up north where many family members are located.
Our children moved down to Florida with us when we came 18 years ago.
They both said if we did that they probably won't visit because neither one of them plan on moving back up there, so I guess we'll start looking for a place to be interred either near the villages or the metro Orlando area.
Where are you planning on spending your time when it comes?

Is this something you have thought about and done something about or is it something you're going to dump on your kids or someone else when that time comes?

Some years ago I knew a lady who wanted her ashes scattered at a local shopping Mall, her reasoning was that her daughter would visit her at least once a week.

Memories are more important than visiting carbon powder.

Spend more time with your family members now.

My “forever” home is in heaven, not here.

Not legal and will get you banned but Haunted Mansion works.

On a side note Arlington would be perfect to think of all the wisdom and the brave souls that reside and walk the grounds. you could listen to story keepers for your ever

Have you ever considered a personal Keepsake Urn or a cremains piece of glass or jewelry?

My father died 50 years ago before cremations were so common. At the time, we bought a double plot for he and my mom in Chicago. Mom moved to Florida with me and when her checkout time came in 2012, we had a small portion of ashes in keepsake urns for her 3 kids, and the main urn was buried next to my father.

If you are former military, you can be intered at the Florida National Cemetary in Bushnell, for free.

I kinda like the idea of my ashes and urn being dropped into Laguna Cuicocha, a crater lake.

I plan on being cremated and ashes spread at sea. Don’t really care that much about it I will be dead.

I have a bench at Lone Oak Cemetery in Leesburg. Ashes are placed inside the bench. Will "hold" 4 people. My son's remains are already there.
