When my Grandmother passed in January - we got the opportunity to sit with her a body and wait for the arrival of the cremation folks. It was tough, knowing she wasn't there, and feeling her body get cold...pretty quickly too.

But having the ability to sit with her, say goodbye, and have that closure was extremely helpful in the grieving process.

We're a 'no funeral' family. I think it's better that way.

pay attention to them while they are alive, the funeral isn't that important.

Agreed.
