| - I had the unfortunate experience of having to visit these nice people for a family member recently.
But it was really nice.
They helped out a lot. Everything was pre-purchased and whatnot, so it was very easy... just had to pay the pastor to come in and speak at the memorial.
So... what I wanted to say about this place that's really neat, is that you can now have something to do with the cremains that's personalized.
They have a room, attached to the building, where they have a bunch of shelved glass units, separated into different sizes, from floor to about ceiling. The room is almost all glass, so the sun lights it nicely.
Anyway... so you purchase one of these units by size and you can put the cremains in there of your loved one and put anything else in there that they were fond of in their life.
For example, for my grandpa, there will likely be something with trains, golf, accounting (yes, he loved accounting), and the grandkids.
It's really neat. I had never been one to consider something like that for myself in the future, but seeing that... I really like it. It's much better than a headstone or something like that.
