You can be made to keep on working it seems even after you're dead, there's no rest!

The ashes of the first of us to go will be kept by the surviving one, along with the dogs ashes. When the second one goes, the children have been told to mix all ashes together and deposit in a place they feel appropriate, possible the local woods.
My parents and sisters ashes are all in the said woods, round a particular gorse bush, on a hill overlooking the river.

It becomes less of a talking point, much more poignant, when it happens.
I have the ashes of my loved ones on a shelf at home, because in an absurd way (absurd because I have no belief in after-lives or anything of the sort) I can't bear to dispose of them.
It just seems that letting them go, wherever I do it, in a way says 'they're gone now', and I can't bear the thought.

I have a beautiful stretch of the river Neckar passing 50 yards from my house, so I would like them scattered in there. They can then go on through Tübingen, Heidelberg to join the Rhine at Manheim, from there they can continue on through Holland & into the North sea & with luck, & despite the corona virus, I may get back to England again.
Chris going to pinch that wording! I can never understand why people are so worried about the burnt remains of people. I would rather remember them as they were. I also find no comfort whatsoever in visiting graves. I would rather visit my dad's favourite local and have a pint in his memory.
I don't keep any of my dogs ashes and there have been many favourites over the years but photos and memories suffice.

While i know i shouldn't - and my parents wouldn't wish it upon me - i tend to get a bout of the old guilt when i haven't visited their grave for a few months. So, not wishing to guilt-trip my 4, i've told them i want cremating and my ashes scattered on Pendle Hill. On the top of the hill, that is :-) My eldest daughter says it's a good job i have lots of grand-kids who can climb the hill to do the actual scattering.
Almost no matter where you are in Burnley, the top of the hill is visible, so all they need do, instead of visiting the cemetery, is to look out of their front doors.
