The meeting with the funeral director went very well. They really are open to most options that family is willing to choose, mainly just suggesting what people often do.
siswolf and I did pick out a "scattering" urn, which just means that it's easier to get into. 13 or or so years ago I remember my friend's S.O. having to go at the bottom of her urn with his power drill (no, not that one, that's really gross. It was a Sear's Craftsman) to get her out so we could scatter her.
We also received a very nice suggestion that if siswolf and I go through with our plan to take some small portion of momwolf to Hawaii that we should put her in our checked baggage rather than the carry-on.
Oh, and I learned that I was not the first person to make the "Meet the Parents" comment about the pink cloisonné.
Oh, and making the notification phone calls really sucks.
