<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Someone wrote and was wondering about how we get
our cremains returned to us. In my haste yesterday, I didn't explain
the situation very well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have a large clay pot, which I refer to as an
urn, since I have designated its use to be holding cremains. It came
from Morocco back in the mid 60s, has been in my family all this time,
surprisingly, has not broken even with many moves. We think it was
probably used to hold water originally, could probably hold 4-5 gallons, I
would guess. So rather than having many boxes of
cremains sitting upon a shelf, I take them out, they are always
in a bag, label them, with name of pet/bridge date,
and they go into our large urn. I probably have
30-40 sets in this urn. When I worked with SBR, I would have any
fosters who died in our care, cremated...if the foster family did not have any
objection, and the cremains sent to me. So I have more than just my own,
but I wanted these ones who never got their home to have one in one form or
another. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Our executor knows that once the last one left
standing, of Pat or myself, is gone, we are to be all mixed together and
disposed of. Probably we will become a part of a reef down in the
Keys. Anyhow, that is why they are all in bags, and what we will be doing
come the end of our existence here. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sorry if this was much more than you wanted to
hear, but wanted to clarify why the cremains are in bags and how one little
Beagle got into them ( I had the lid off the urn for a few minutes and anyone
who has Beagles know they are very opportunistic!)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Mick is safely double bagged up again.....I could
hear him the whole time telling me it was okay if I didn't get all of him back
in the bag.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Reading this, it sounds a bit weird and I have to
say I am just cracking myself up!</FONT></DIV>
