My brother and I decided not to even tell mom about that. We both know that one of dad's last requests was to scatter his ashes on Shadow Mountain Lake, where they had a beautiful lake shore summer home for many years. We'll do that instead. My feeling always has been that you should honor those sort of wishes. One thing that caused sore feelings in my wife's family is that her father was an avid golfer. He wanted his ashes scattered on the country club in Westchester County he belonged to. Lynne's brother said he'd done that. Some years later, he admitted he'd scattered them in the Colorado mountains. While the mountains meant something to Lynne's brother, they meant nothing to her father. She was quite distressed that her brother had not carried out dad's wishes.

My Mom wanted to have her favorite dog's ashes with her when she died... The mortuary said Absolutely Not....She really fumed about that, and made one of my sisters promise to do it anyway when Mom died....It was pretty tricky, but at the last minute, before the coffin was closed, in Nikii went.... I told my family, only partly in jest, that I wanted a working telephone in with me, just in case there was some sort of bad mistake and that I should be out instead of in ....<ggg>
