Not only did I never consider my dad passing...

But what's weighing on my mind is that my mom decided to have him cremated. I asked her weeks ago while he was in hospice to see what he might wish for, but she didn't. And she said they'd never talked about it prior.
I understand many do it now more than ever , but it's just sad his body is truly not here. I get that even if buried, the body after many, many years will decompose anyway. But, it's just so final it seems, thinking of cremation. I have a few pictures of him in the hospital, before hospice, and one video during hospice..I'll treasure it always, to SEE my dad.😞💛

i feel exactly the same way. my family believes in being buried and so we all are. i think iti s now a cost factor. to be buried costs over 10,000. mine is going to cost 15,000 and it is paid for so that when i die, they just have to bury me next to my daughter and mom. but i feel the same way-looking at an urn is hard to comprehend. at least you know that the body whatever state it is in is in the ground
