What Do I Do With These Ashes?
Manage episode 467227697 series 2826302
Facing the decision of what to do with a loved one's ashes can be an emotional and daunting task. I found myself in this position with my late husband Tom's ashes sitting on a shelf for years. Our episode today features David Perotto from Bartolomeo and Perotto Funeral Homes, who shares a wealth of knowledge about the various options available for managing ashes—from traditional cemetery placements to unique ocean ceremonies. As families become more spread out, these decisions carry significant weight, and David emphasizes that some choices, such as scattering ashes, are irreversible and must be carefully considered.
Planning ahead for end-of-life arrangements can be a gift to both yourself and your loved ones. We discuss the emotional and logistical benefits of pre-planning funerals, including insights from experts like Dr. Alan Wolfelt in grief recovery. By reflecting on our legacy and pre-planning, we can enrich the commemorative experience with personal touches, like sharing memoirs, and foster a supportive community of shared experiences.
