THE FINAL GIFT

Scatter me not to the restless winds

nor toss my ashes to the sea.

Remember now those years gone by

when loving gifts I gave to thee.

Remember now the happy times

the family ties we shared.

Don't leave my resting place unmarked

as though you never cared.

Deny me not one final gift

for all who come to see.

A single lasting proof that says I lived...

I loved and you loved me.

Rev. D. H. Cramer

"That which is so universal as death must be a blessing" - inscribed over the entryway of Woodlawn Cemetery, West Palm Beach, Florida

"In life we weep at the thought of death...perhaps in death we weep at the thought of life"

And last—-remember (a little humor)....."All men are cremated equal".
