One of mum's last wishes was for her ashes to be repatriated to England, the place where my dad's and brother's are. In wanting to be ahead of the game knowing the bureaucratic nightmare that is France, we got two funeral quotes today and inquired about repatriation. They can do some of the paperwork but that's all. We'd still need more paperwork, driver's identities, registration numbers, ID of the person receiving them (a UK crematorium). We have to organise the funeral within 24 hours of death, which is why I'm trying to get ahead, and that will mean deciding on the type of urn and paperwork.
That means we'd have to organise the transport/courrier ourselves (if anyone can do it, and we can't go) in the midst of this covid/brexit mess, as well as all the other unassociated paperwork that has to be done.
It would be so much easier to spread the ashes on our own land, just a quick permission from the mayor, and plant something in her memory. What would you do?
