[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 1140739, member: 663"] My wife's cousin recently died. The body was cremated and today the ashes were buried in the cemetery between his parents graves in one of those black plastic pipes like you see advertised for burying gold or silver. It was private just for the family and closest neighbors. His brother in law read scripture and lead in a prayer. A single saxophone player played one song. His nephew shoveled in dirt to fill the "grave". There was one spray of flowers. It lasted maybe a little over 20 minutes. It was one of the simplest yet most impressive burials I have ever attended. Next, as he had previously requested, a get together was held for all his cronies at the local bar room. Several foods were available. I had never attended such an event at a bar before and had my doubts. But it turned out to be a very congenial gathering. All kinds attended. Lawyer, business men, CPA, professor, policeman, and mostly just run of the mill folks and a few bar flies. Everybody got along well and had a good time of fellowship. There were several employees working in the bar. The owner was moving as fast and working as hard as any of them. He is 88 and just a heck of a likable guy. [/QUOTE]
