1. Is there a possibility that the family or funeral home would give you a vial of ashes?

WMy Mom passed away, and my daughter had already made plans to travel with a friend. She took a very small vial of my Mom's ashes with her, and left a bit in Vienna, Rome, Berlin and one other city she visited. The remaining ashes were scattered in Colorado as my Mom requested.

I remember your post about losing your friend. Sorry that the bad vibes continue.
