[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it were my parent, [b]I would tell them that this would be costly and time-consuming to arrange. Except that we'd never have this conversation, because they already know this and don't want to be a burden.[/b] So tell your husband that if he says nothing right now, he will be facing a difficult choice after his father's death: not honor his wishes and live with that, or be entirely overwhelmed trying to make it happen. [/quote] Same. If this request is coming from total ignorance and lack of thought or planning (pre-arranging, pre-paying/covering), it would indeed be a costly financial and time burden to the adult kids’ families. Cremation and taking that easily over there accomplishes the same thing at significantly less cost, secretarial time, even less bribes. Ashes could even go in a marble tomb thing if Gramps is hung up on an occasional pilgrimage to see his tombstone. [/quote]
