Let me begin by saying that my family doesn't "do funerals". Both sets of my grandparents and my mother have passed away and I have never been to a family funeral. I was 30 before I ever visited the grave of a relative. I know for sure that my paternal grandparents and my mother were cremated and their ashes scattered in the ocean. I need to find out if my maternal grandparents were buried or cremated.

Happy birthday to your mom. That's a lovely picture to honor her memory.
ReplyDeleteMy family doesn't do funerals, either. Haven't been to a service for a family member yet.
Amy, thank you for visiting my blog, and for showing that my family is not the only one that does not do funerals.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and a great way to memorialize your mom.
ReplyDeleteMy father did was "buried" similarly and I've wondered how to pay him tribute on "Tombstone Tuesday".
Thanks for a great post.
