entombment, became the tangible, see able,

knowable final resting place. Cemeteries have

long been the place where you go to visit and

pay respects to your loved one then along

came cremated remains burial and cremation

niches, which served the same purpose. Now,

however, more and more families are choosing

to take the cremated remains home with them

in a decorative urn or container or sometimes

a simple cardboard box.

One 2014 survey showed that 54% of

California and Washington residents had

cremated remains in their homes, and I’m sure

that number has only increased. Many family

homes now house the cremated remains of

more than one person.

I must say that the family’s impulse to keep

their cremated loved one close can be borne

of love, making it an honourable and even

mourning-fostering choice. In the early weeks

and months after the death, having the

urn in the home can indeed be an effective

way for the primary mourners to continue

to acknowledge the reality of the death,

remember the person who died, initiate

discussions with others and encounter the

pain of the loss.

But in the longer term, as you know all too

well, home kept remains often become

problematic. What if they’re accidentally

spilled? Will anyone want to safeguard and

display them 10, 20 or 50 years from now?

What happens when more people in the family

die.

Scattered remains, of course, engender a

different set of challenges for families. In the

short-term, scattering cremated remains

in a location important to the family or the

person who died can feel like a good fit. After

all, the person who died is being honoured

in a personal way, and the scattering is often

surrounded by ceremony and attended by at

least several people who were closest to the

person who died and to each other. But in the

long run, scattering often creates a vacuum for

the family.

Where can one go to pay respects to the

person who died? The particulars of the

location are often lost to time, and even when

the location is known, it is often remote or

difficult to visit. And what happens when the

cremated remains have been scattered in

multiple locations? This practice can naturally

create confusing or even upsetting thoughts

and feelings down the line.

Permanent memorialisation provides a

suitable place to mourn, which helps people

heal. Second, it gives all mourners access to

a public location where they can go to pay

respects and connect with the person who

died. Families sometimes do not consider that

others who live outside the family home may

want to be able to visit the final resting place.

Third, the cemetery, mausoleum or cremation

garden will be around for generations to come.

Grandchildren and great-grandchildren and

on down the line will find meaning in having

a fixed, marked place that anchors their

personal histories. And fourth, the permanent

resting place is a practical choice. Families can

rest easy knowing that the cremated remains

are being taken care of in perpetuity.

The idea of having to pass along urns to the

next generation or amassing more and more

urns on a shelf (or in a closet!) is usually

enough to help families realise that keeping

the remains at home is not a viable long-term

solution.

Ours may be a throw-away, quick-fix society,

but in embracing memorialisation, you will be

counteracting this harmful trend. Generations

from now, families will still be visiting their

ancestors in your community’s cemeteries and

cremation gardens. The dead will be cared for

respectfully and with an understanding of the

sanctity and continuity of life.

Memorialisation

Puzzles Can Help Your Brain

Scientificstudieshaveproventhatworkingwithpuzzlesandotherlogic games helps improve reasoning, memory and logic. They promote a form of synergy between the left and right brain, termed by psychologists as a “full brain approach”. This can result in better memory, deeper learning and better recall. Puzzles appeal to our creative and logical minds, offering a full brain work out, especially for retirees who don’t have a daily work commitment.

Burstows recognises this and hope that by offering this Puzzle Book with up to three-month’s worth of fun brain exercises, we can actually help you improve your brain vibrancy as you get older. One of the biggest fears for us all as we get older is losing our mental sharpness, possibly developing dementia, Alzheimer’s or other mental illnesses – but by giving our brain a moderate workout on a frequent basis we can help hold off the onset of some of these issues.

Puzzles and games also instigate social interaction and communication. Doing puzzles together is a pleasurable experience for all participants helping to maintain social and communicative skills. Science has also shownthatwhenapuzzleisfinallycompletedthereisafeelingofsatisfaction and dopamine is released in the brain, as a kind of reward system for our efforts.

Please enjoy your FREE Burstows Puzzle Book. Remember all the answers and solutions can be found on our website www.burstows.com.au. They are published at the beginning of each month along with a couple of bonus questions that will give you an extra entry in the monthly draw for the $100 Coles voucher.
