I told my wife, I could care less. Coffin, cremated, shot from the Enterprise in a photon torpedo casing, I don't care. Just don't come and visit because I'll be busy soaking up the silence.jetts31https://www.blogger.com/profile/12921709684430981893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060436128493311648.post-7774224679678155582013-05-15T00:27:59.653-04:002013-05-15T00:27:59.653-04:00These issue came up recently when my father passed...These issue came up recently when my father passed away 3 years ago. He was Catholic so cremation was not an option. My mom however, is Atheist and wants to be cremated. He was also stoic and frugal and although he never said it we(3 daughters and his wife)all knew he would want a quick burial with no open casket. We opted to do an open casket visitation for family only and a grave side service Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060436128493311648.post-34999409769280493222013-05-14T22:40:47.664-04:002013-05-14T22:40:47.664-04:00You know... there are biodegradable coffins and ur...You know... there are biodegradable coffins and urns now so that there is no harm to the environment.
