Hi Marilyn, The truth is that everyone’s remains, sooner or later, will go back to the earth. There is literally nothing you can do to ensure that the bones won’t be touched, crushed, or scattered with time in hundreds of years. Though it’s understandable that we want to know our families’ bodies remain in their grave while descendants are around who have an interest in this, trying to control the remains centuries in the future is not only impossible but strikes me as an unhelpful stressor. Even if you could, somehow, control this, the truth is you’ll never know after you’ve died. Be very careful about anyone in the burial business making promises to you about perpetuity—that’s a fast ticket to draining your wallet. We all make a mark on this earth—small or large—during our time on it. The dissolution of our bodies and bones doesn’t negate that. I recommend focusing on the memories and good deeds done by our deceased family members instead of ruminating on the bones they’ve left behind. I hope this is helpful.
