maybe some of you have been thru this with your parents or in-laws' death. Heck, even some young adults are cremated . I 've heard of a few. One young woman in my church had her departed baby cremated. She carries around a Teddy Bear with her that has a jar inside, that holds her baby daughters ashes.

My uncle died unexpectedly while staying with my mom and dad. His wife had been cremated and her ashes were waiting for his. My uncle was cremated, and I requested a small amount of them as a remembrance. I received an attractive enough container about the size of a deck of cards. I poured them into the earth around the roots of a tree my sons and I planted. The remainder of the ashes (quite a large amount) were spread with his wife's, but I've forgotten where.
Pets can be buried or cremated separately. My son asked for our dog's ashes, which I gave him as a Christmas gift (the only thing he wanted). The cost of cremating Darrell separately from the other euthanized/deceased animals at the vet's that time was about $125. My friend has her dog's ashes in a beautiful urn in her living room.

What you get is a small sifted sampling. Of course, how will you ever know for certain?

I have often wondered whether gold crowns and bridges are returned to the family. I have my suspicions!

And then cremated afterward. In fact, I think my cousin did that for her husb. He wanted to be cremated, but she had him laid out b/c they were waiting for his Colorado kids to come in for the funeral ( to Michigan ) Meanwhile, he was being viewed by local people in the funeral home. After the funeral, she had him cremated. She said he was prob mad as h**l at her for doing that . ha ha. A little macabre humor there.
