[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pick the date that works for you, and do what you can to get your aunt there.  Would she need to fly to get to the area?  If so, the trip itself may be too much.  Perhaps you could save a small portion of the ashes to give to her?  Have a special dinner with your aunt to remember your mom, so she doesn't have to make the trip?[/quote]

OP here. I can definitely do something privately with my aunt later. Just feel bad she won't actually get to be there to say good-bye in person. She's really struggling with this loss. And, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I feel bad for mom that her closest family (besides me) don't seem all that interested. For her sake, should I do whatever it is I have to do to make sure they are there - even if it means it's convenient for them and not for us, so that at least I've done that much for her? Or, is it more fitting to do this without them on my own terms, since mom raised me as a single mother with no help from anyone, even her own family, and it was always just the two of us anyway?
