Not sure of the name. My Dad said they will pick up the body and make creamation arrangements wherever the body happens to be. Not sure if they will make donations of body parts. It may be worth looking into businesses in this field and see what’s out there. Just a thought. Wow I posted this on Jan 2nd. My Mom passed on Feb 4th and my Dad passed on Feb 18th. Both were in the same nursing home together in adjoining rooms. They were in their home city. The prepaid cremation service is working with the family now to do the creamation and get their remains into the veterans cemetery now. 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition 2021 Harley Street Glide Special Fulltimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_12078 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 My sincere condolences for your loss. I'm sure you're glad they got to spend their time in the nursing home together at least.

Yarome Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 My condolences as well, Twotoes. I don't care who ya are... that's gotta be tough having both parents pass so closely together, but how cool for them. Neither having to live long past the other and your mother going first which, I'm sure, was no small amount of comfort for your father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of the older regulars on the Escapee forums, I must agree that for your parents it is probably well that they passed so close together. With 55+ years of marriage, it is a little bit frightening to think about one of us going on alone, but we also realize that it is almost inevitable that this will happen. Grief of loss is the price that we pay for having loved and been loved. But most of us would make the same choice even if we had realized the cost going in. I do feel for you.

packnrat Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 sorry about your parents. my dad has been gone for years now. and my mom is still being a pain. ( how much longer?). she depended on him for everything, till he got MS, then he depended on her for everything. now i am her care giver. but i have been single most of my life so guess i get to live a very long time? i am stuck here for a number of years yet. i do not expect my mom to be around that long. but if she does live longer. than i will do what ever is needed to do for her. pre and post death. as to me??? the state has taken so much, might as well have the cascuss. no family to give anything to. or expect anything from. .
