And like, right, we are going to all run out and have DNA tests done on our ancestors. It is the first anniversary of my mom's death. She was cremated. I had no problem with that what-so-ever. Decay is a slow oxidation process; burning is a rapid oxidation process and a lot cleaner. Even the stodgy RCatholic church has gotten around to allowing cremation. This is my last note to this list; I am going to unsubscribe. No one knows anything about the Pocks anyway. Good-bye. :-( Betty

Excuse me, where is our list admin? Enough about this cemetery already, as well as burial preferences. Let's have these people mail each other off the list to share. I agree with Betty.
