I think that's wonderful and very loving. It's tough working at a funeral home, people deal with things so very differently, there is no "right" way to deal with grief. It is so very personal and they are hardly ever prepared to face the details that are "not included" in the contracts involved. It's quite shocking, fortunately since I had worked at the funeral home I dealt with, I was very comfortable. Bless you and your family.

THe funeral director suggested we take it out and keep it but both Mom and I agreed that we wanted Dad to have it forever and he does. Thanks for listeneing,
