All dressed up and ready for a trip to bountiful....er....I mean....Sugar Grove.

My maternal great grandfather and his sisters gave the land for the cemetery in the 1890's.....most of my mother's relatives are buried there.

I wish they kept it up a bit more.....but it's still a nice place.  Not sure how they will handle the opening in this weather....s**w on the ground and 11 degrees....but it is just a cremation box...not the whole B I G thing.

We shall see.


Comfort vibes to you and your family, Jrand.

DR elmore3003, Amazon Prime has a "watchlist" feature just like all the other streaming platforms.

Online, yes. On the television, not in my house.

One thing I remember about Richard from Scarlet Street. He despised the Ritz Brothers.

My scapula showed mild improvement yesterday. The in-laws are still in the hospital, but also mildly improved. Canada doesn’t boot you out of the hospital as fast as possible. The flip side is you might sit in there unseen by a doctor for a couple days at a time.

Thanks to everyone for the nice posts.

It was very cold.  My cousin put her mother's container in its place along with the ashes of her mother's cat who had passed was cremated last summer.

My cousin, her daughter and grandson, a friend from her work, myself and cousins Carol & Marcie [sisters] were there.

After a moment of silence I read the poem "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep" the performance of which will probably get me the Tony nomination this year.

And then we all came home.

Both the in-laws are in rooms of their own, not sitting in a hall or anything, to be clear. Nurses come by.

My mother's funeral service at the cemetery in Queens (two years ago this month) from Zoom are in an "unlisted" place on YouTube, and we gave the link to cousins who couldn't take part that day.  It's nice to go look at it from time to time. 

Too bad we hadn't thought of YouTube for my father's funeral which was also at the cemetery, in 2021, but there's lots of him and my mom in the video for Mom's funeral

DR RODZINSKI they did it yesterday.  They use a hot heater pointed straight at the ground for a few hours.

It was a small square since it was for a cremation box but it was six feet deep.  My cousin laid on her front on a blue cloth, the attendant held her feet and she dropped the box in.  The attendant gave her the option of letting him do it, but she wanted to do it herself.  Then she dropped the cat container in afterwards.
