Where is it more appropriate to put a cremation urn at home? on the side tale or on the altar?

Jan 17, 2010 by DeeDee | Posted in Etiquette

my fathers cremation urn has been sitting on his bedside table for 2 years now, (primary reason was to give comfort to my stepmom), been wondering now if it would be better to place him on the altar instead since my stepmom ain't using the same room anymore?

Maybe your stepmother likes it there. My best friend's husband's urn is on a shelf in the kitchen cabinets. She said she likes to say good morning when she gets her Cheerios. Maybe your step-mom likes the urn there so she knows he's there but it isn't

Family sues funeral home over quick cremation

22.02.12

A local family has filed a lawsuit against Cain Funeral Home on the grounds the funeral home did not follow the family’s wishes concerning the handling and cremation of their loved one’s remains.

James P. Reeves and his wife, Pat, along with their sons, James "Kevin" Reeves and Charles "Charlie" Robert Reeves, filed suit against Palmetto Crematory LLC and Cain Funeral Home Inc. as a result of the handling of the cremation and funeral of their son, Phillip Todd Reeves, after his death on Aug. 14, 2009.

According to the lawsuit, the Reeves family procured the services of the funeral home and crematory to attend to the body and arrange for its disposition according to the wishes of the next of kin.

"The defendants knew, or should have known, that the circumstances of the decedent’s death and the original handling of his body by the Sheriff and Coroner were such that the family had no full and fair final opportunity to pay their respects to his body," the suit claims. "The defendants knew, or should have known, that the family, specifically his siblings, wanted to pay their respects and say farewell to the body prior to its disposition."
