Jane, My heart is with you. Laura was cremated. We had to give 1/3 of her ashes to her husband because he was the next of kin. We were lucky to get the rest. 1/3 has been put into an urn that I chose. It is a brass box that is enameled burgundy/violet then engraved so, the brass shows through. It is on my mantel. You will see it at her Portland celebration of life. The other 1/3 are in a box at her sister's house. They will be split between her son's and her sister. When I am ready my share will be placed in Illinois with her father. I don't know when that will be, but then I will have to choose a headstone. I hope I am stronger by then. Her husband called me today and told me he buried his share in one of their favorite spots in Arkansas. No cemetary. Just a favorite place of theirs. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I have no say. Again, Jane my heart is with you. Lucy
