I’m a glasses girl to the end!

How about you?

In some places (but for sure this isn’t universal), you’ll be asked to remove the “glass” from glasses before cremation, but frames are ok. With conventional burial, the complete glasses would absolutely be an option.

Will you take a favourite pair of glasses to the grave?

What’s your best tip for scattering ashes?

I have a bunch more but these are my top three.

I’m a funeral director, embalmer, and an end of life doula, so I get LOTS of questions about stuff like this!

I’m always happy to answer more! 🩷

That absolutely sucks.

Seriously: let’s talk about ALL this stuff before you need to talk about any of it.

Googling “what to do when someone dies” is a recipe for disaster.

It’s not a mystery and we need to stop treating it like it is.

Do you have questions? I have answers! And if I don’t know, I’ll ask my colleagues or figure out how to get you what you need.

Because seriously: meeting a funeral director for the first time when you actually NEED to meet a funeral director is the absolute worst.

My hot take on cremation…⤵️

see what I did there?

Cremation is the most popular disposition method in North America, and it is very likely to stay that way.

I’m a funeral director, embalmer, and end of life doula so I have a lot of experience with cremation.

Believe it or not, I’m actually pro-cremation! I’ve even pre-arranged and pre-paid for my own!

But what bugs me is that people don’t seem to realize that cremation is JUST disposition. When you choose cremation, it’s not actually the simpler choice.

You know why? Besides making choices about body-care, viewings, and ceremony, you still have to figure out what to do with the ahses!

People have ALL sorts of fun ideas: make me into diamonds! press me into a record! shoot me into space! 

Listen: these are terrific optoins.

But they are going to use about 1/10th of the acutal ashes you have after a cremation.

Most people say they want to scatter ashes. And here’s what I hate about scattering ashes…

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Now I personally am a cemetery girl through and through. Other folks in my family weren’t as into that as I was, so we ended up with a bench. LOVELY idea, and it gives me a place to visit.

It won’t give my kids or their kids a place to visit, because where I live these memorial benches aren’t permanent, they are essentially leased for a bunch of years. But still: it’s something.

I love the romance of scattering ashes i nsome favourite spot, for sure. But I want to plant this little seed: once you’ve done that, think about a marker somewhere.

YOU may feel like no one wants to visit you.

But I spend enough time in cemeteries to know that people can come years, decades, or even longer looking for ancestors/people who were important to their family ore.

So if you’re going to scatter…think about something, somewhere, that folks can visit. This isn’t about you. This is about folks you might not even know right now who will want to feel connected to you some day.
