So Rollie's urn came today, very strange and weird to have this in the house..... I am going to store it away somewhere I don't want to look at it. Because I have chosen Neptune Society everything is being done in advance so that is why the urn is here- just really creepy.

That is creepy. Is it pretty? Maybe you could put some flowers in it?? When I think urn I think of those huge victorian flower displays.

Have you seen that Costco sells caskets online? I wonder where you are supposed to store one of those...

Sorry I tend toward the irreverant when it comes to awkward subjects. I always say it is better to laugh than blush.

That would be kind of wierd for sure, just knowing what it is for.
You will be glad that those things are done when the time comes.

How has Rollie been since you came home?

Going to try and work on more pics tonight I think.

Gosh Deb that must be weird. Nice though to have everything done so you don't have to think about it when the time comes. Hugs

Rollie is pretty much the same as when I left, not much changed.

It's creepy but I'm so impressed with you being able to deal with this. I can't even bear to think about death and funerals and don't know how I will cope when the time comes.

I know this is a little bit off the subject but my sisters husband is in and urn right in the middle of the dining room table. Now that's more then a little creepy.

Having an urn in the middle of the table would really creep me out. I sure do think it is best to be prepared, Deb. I think it will happen fast when it happens.
