I was raised a N.Y. Street kid who does not believe in the hereafter.
My wife passed away about a year ago and I had her buried with her parents and her son in N.Y. Even though I do not believe in the hereafter, I went to visit the grave site on Christmas and I’m going back up this month for her birthday. This not only has to do with respect for her. But even though I thought I was impervious to feelings every now and then I feel her absence. It’s what I would consider therapy for myself. Look live is for the living, once life leaves the body it’s nothing more than a shell. But for the ones you leave behind it might be more. Maybe you should take into consideration what you children would like. |

I never really got into genealogy until recently, I wish I would have thought about it when there were still some of my last generation alive to answer some of the questions I have now. |

Already have my authorization letter. We don’t have any kids and no family on this side of the country so we figured we had better have everything arranged in advance.

Right. Why make your kid(s) wonder what you might have wanted when emotions are high? I have written final wishes and provided the names of 2 crematoriums not far away that I researched and am comfortable with their prices and service. How do your kids know your preference if they live out of state? Make it easy with info, names ad phone numbers. Shop around for yourself while you have time, because kids don't when they are young, and it'll be appreciated by them. No need to prepay if you don't want the formality and contract, but give your kids some hints and tips. |

I have a friend who said that her and her husband planned to travel when they retired. They retired to The villages and they had so much fun that they didn't get around to traveling. He passed away and she now travels and leaves a little of him in all the countries that she visits. It makes her feel good that he was in spirit with her.

Just sharing a comment as an fyi, not endorsing either way, just adding to the thread:
Caller a while back to the Dave Ramsey radio show asked how he can minimize his burial expenses so as not to burden his family. The person lived in a larger city with a medical university. Dave suggested to make arrangements with the medical school to donate the body for medical research. |

No matter what your 'wishes' are or whatever arrangements you have made for cremation/burial, it will be up to the controlling family member to carry out whatever will be done with your remains. You'll never know anyway.
