The moment when your focused on something else, that’s when it falls into place. That’s when everything’s clear, and you can’t tell the difference between how it should be and how it is. That’s the moment I fear.

Our recent discussions of death and after death have got me thinking.

I rarely do a service where the body and casket are present.  I also rarely do a service with a funeral home involved.  Most now are cremations and most use an alternative service (originally a co-op but I don't know if it still is) in Thunder Bay.  About half the time we do a comittal of ashes immediately following the service and half the time they wait for a later date.
