  1. My husband and I have pre-arranged thru National Cremation Society to take care of us at the end. We do not want visitation, funeral etc. We wish to be cremated and the ashes given to one of us remaining so we can scatter them at sea. One daughter is giving me a lot of grief all of a sudden about this even though she knew of our plans. She thinks she should get her father's ashes to keep until I pass away, then have a ceremony with family to scatter us both together at sea. I don't think she has thought that I may live another 10 or 20 years and where is my closure? She is saying she needs this for her personal closure. My husband is in Hospice now but I am in good health. I told her I would not do this but will let the Society put some of her dads ashes in a receptacle, sealed and marked to give to her. She came back saying we were not considering her or her sister and have not given them any consideration or thought in this matter and got rather nasty about it. At this time especially I am stressed, emotionally drained going thru what is occurring and don't need this guilt. The funeral director said it is our right to have our wishes followed as pre-arranged. Anyone else have trouble with their adult children? Just thought of a solution myself. Will have the cremation, keep my husband's ashes myself and invite my daughter down to FLorida when weather permits, family get together and go out into the Gulf and have our ceremony together
