re: Do you keep the ashes of your loved ones in the house, or do you spread them somewhere?

that's not surprising
you folks make crap up quite often
so often
just stop - there's no Biblical reference to putting them "in the ground whole."

It depends on their wishes.

I believe Catholics are neither supposed to scatter ashes nor keep them in the home. They are to be interred immediately.

Bride of 35 years. Gone. I'll be headed to Keaton Beach and catch the creek at outgoing tide. She'll ride it out to the Gulf.
All we are is dust in the wind...
God bless you brother
very sorry for your loss - she will be happy and I'm sure she already is
I'm reading one of Grisham's newer books and part of the setting is near Keaton Beach

My parents bought burial plots in BR when I was a kid. My dad was cremated (per his wishes) but we had his ashes buried in his burial plot with a headstone. My mom, myself and my brother all also have miniature urns that have some of his ashes in it.
My mom also wants to be cremated and buried in her plot next to my dad.
Cremation was a much easier and more affordable option considering he died in AZ and I knew he wanted his final resting place to be Louisiana. It gave us time after he passed to plan everything so that we could all travel back for his burial/memorial service.

My father in law was an orphan from ww2 in Europe. He was adopted by a family in Nola but he wanted to also go back to Europe to be with “his people”.
We cremated him and divided his ashes into 4 parts. One for mom. One to scatter in Europe, one to scatter in Nola at the river, and the other was divided amongst the kids. We loved plants so we used our part to help him become a tree.
The living urn

Some of moms were thrown out into a lake that she loved, per her request. Some are in a glass necklace pendant of sorts and some are on my fireplace mantel in a smallish urn. Dad is literally 6 feet under in a conventional grave in a quaint little town where he was born and lived the greater majority of his life.
