I have also willed my body to science and also have a funeral plan policy which pay $2500. They can get back some of my remains from the science center for $40. My daughter found a bargain basement cremation price for Pierre, my last companion for under $400 in Phoenix. Pierre had gambled all his money, so a collection was taken up and between him family and my family his cremation was paid for. He tried to sell his ashes to his ex-wife who wanted them to be in an urn with hers after death since they were married for 30 years. She did not send the $700 so after about a year I sent the ashes to her for the sake of her daughter Pierre had helped raise. She was very happy as she loved Pierre. Pierre was an alcoholic, a binge drinker, but died of a heavy smoking habit as did his ex-wife a year later. <br />I think you are wise to plan ahead Linda for all contingencies. I have 4 children who will not have to pay for my funeral expenses.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.com
