patj 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 How do most people handle a Cremation and/or Scattering of Ashes, as opposed to a Burial? Do you make it a Custom Event? Cremation and Scattering of Ashes is becoming more common in modern times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmut Leininger 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Hi patj, I have made a separate tag, derived from the burial tag (we have the funeral ceremony which in case of a cremation is the "main" event, and some days after the urn interment). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 I do the what seems to be similar to Helmut. I created a custom tag in the Burial group for the actual Cremation, which I consider the event which disposes of the mortal remains. I then use a separate custom tag in the Other group for the event of scattering the ashes. I choose to view that second event as similar to a "wake" or "memorial service" event, which I also have as tags in the Other group, and which is usually held sometime after the burial service. Hope this gives you ideas, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
