vskydiver 0 #51 August 5, 2009 Quote I don't care what happens really, whatever helps my husband and family cope the best is ok with me. I agree with you. JohnMitchell is probably waiting for my post here.I'm pulled in two different directions because my parents want me buried and have a plot for me already. John wants me cremated. This was a huge issue when I was in the hospital a few years ago in a coma and the doctors told my family I wasn't going to make it. I think I'd rather be cremated and save the real estate, but I don't want to be scattered. No ash dive for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
