Granny's gone and done it again

He was put in a plastic box. His DD let me pick one out and ordered it for me to use. Much nicer and a good price. He is in my curio in my bedroom with his little throw blanket he used and his baseball cap.
Some people order custom urns from potters.
 
Oh, and getting the areas i wanted done at Sono Bello cost....
$32,000. Approximately! Hence why I was thinking of Thailand or somewhere.
Occasionally I have the urge to just take a knife and DIY a trim for my stomach...but it's a hard place to sew yourself back up!

I don't think of it as depressing at all. We're all going on a journey some day. When I went to NM, I made all kinds of plans. This is no different. Well okay, it is some different, lol. But still. Plans have to be made.
It's poignant at times, but not really depressing. We've been taking care of our families all our lives. Why stop, now? :hugs
 
My mother used to say that we all want to go to heaven but none of us are anxious to make the journey. I have to admit I'm bad about talking about it with DH. We have talked but that is all. I've dealt with so much death in my career that it's something I tend to push to the back of my mind a lot. I don't believe in big funerals. Another quip from my mother was when she knew she was dying she laid the law down to me. No visitation, no big funeral. If people didn't care enough to visit her when she was alive she didn't want them weeping crocodile tears over her when she was in a casket. We had a graveside service for her after cremation. It was a sunny spring day and beautiful. I told my husband, I didn't want a big wedding...we got married by a judge with two friends standing with us in Casa Grande Arizona...and I don't want a big funeral when that time comes. You are just as married with the first and just as dead with the second.

Morning all. Lots to do today. Up in the low 80s so I've got one more flower bed to go over so tending to that today and may go for a short dirt bike ride. Hope everyone is having a good morning.
