            I have printed "M"s useful link on what my wishes are, when my husband died , just under 2 years ago, although he knew he was terminal he would not discuss funeral arrangements.
            It left his son and me, trying to do what we "thought" he would want from past conversations. It didn`t help that there had been quite a few years on and off he was not in contact with his son.
            All I can say there is please ,please try to heal any family rifts.
            As I live alone in Wales, with nearest family 200 miles away. I have given this quite a bit of thought, I have the funeral costs hopefully covered, doubled what it cost for my O.H.. apart from that have specified, cheapest the better. scatter my ashes on my garden. "snow dig"

            @Kristen ,
            thought I'd died and gone to heaven this weekend..;)
            but the return home over the Dartford Crossing at lunchtime awakened me to reality
            and I'm still here,
            a good night's kip and I'll be fine.
            Jenny
