mother in law’s clergy person. Let the issue be placed upon the table opnely; all views heard and acknowledged and prayer time granted. Those present must be mentally prepared to accept certain outcomes; surely emotions will play a significant part, and this process may prove to be a fine education for all. What were the departed’ s wishes as to disposition must trump all other plans. Be faithful, loving and courteous and then know that you have done all that is within your power to do so. Sadly, this may foretell the scenario of the will; however in that instance greater legal restrictions govern”wishes”.
Best wishes for a blessed solution.

I will share this with my family it brought tears to my eyes, for I know there is no greather love than the love of Christ and that is what we must show even in times like these.
May God continue to bless this ministry!

I love the reminder that the people we loves are not in the ashes or the coffins – but they are in our hearts.
