[quote=Anonymous]Well, I add my sympathies to those of the others OP. I lost a cousin recently at a very young age to alcohol abuse, and that cousin's remains were cremated. I'll try to give practical advice from that experience. I don't want to seem crass -- my intent is to help. On the parents, if they are able, they can take care of themselves -- the point is to be there, not to have activities or a schedule like a normal visit. They know that I expect. You are planning cremation -- that gives you more flexibility. You need do nothing for an indefinite period of time following the cremation. If there is a service I think it helps everyone if the officiant deals forthrightly with the manner of death. In my case the cousin's brother wrote a poem on his sister's struggles with alcohol, which the officiant read. God bless you and your family OP. [/quote]
