Grandpa's Ashes

Funerals have fallen off the cultural priority list it seems. Grandpa dies and inevitably the obituary reads that a celebration of life will take place in a couple of months. How sad. We need to celebrate the passing of those who walk with us through life. The catechism is clear about the proper care and disposal of the body. The funeral rites are the critical last step in life. They must be honored. And, for the record, don't scatter Grandpa's ashes at the boat launch. Gotta start somewhere. #funeral #cremation #endoflife #love #catechism

Funerals have fallen off the cultural priority list it seems. Grandpa dies and inevitably the obituary reads that a celebration of life will take place in a couple of months. How sad. We need to celebrate the passing of those who walk with us through life. The catechism is clear about the proper care and disposal of the body. The funeral rites are the critical last step in life. They must be honored. And, for the record, don't scatter Grandpa's ashes at the boat launch. Gotta start somewhere.
