My husband chose pure cremation when we found out that his cancer had become untreatable. He wanted me to worry as little as possible about things that needed doing so I could concentrate on our young family and on a celebration of life rather than a funeral. The day he was cremated was hard because I wasn’t there and I thought I was regretting the decision but have to say that having him back home with us now and all of the care that was taken in the way everything was dealt with by the team, really did make a huge difference to our family. I know that everything went exactly how Anthony would have wanted it to go and that he gave us the gift of time together to get our heads around this new life we have to live without him. He was still thinking of us the whole time and I know that when my time comes, I want the same for me. I want my girls to have as little stress as possible too so they can support each other. I lost my mum much younger than expected and the difference in stress levels between planning her funeral and my husbands were just massive. I have been able to use that time to care for our children and help them to navigate this horrible time rather than having to take them to meetings and places they wouldn’t feel comfortable being at. I know he was cared for and looked after, right until the end and now we can concentrate on remembering him as the beautiful man he was. Thank you for everything.
