Interestingly, I discovered that several places do research on cremated remains.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

If wearing all black isn't an option, one of the Jewish mourning customs is to wear a torn piece of black ribbon pinned to your shirt.
I adopted that custom after Mom passed, because I felt like I needed some sort of signifier of my grief.
You're in my thoughts, Connie.

Here are two, Connie:
Colorado Mesa [link] -- See third point.
Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility, Sam Houston State University [link] - Again, third point.
I don't know that it saves you anything, but it looks like they're working to discover how much forensic information can be derived from cremated bodies.

But thank you so much for looking into that. Something to keep in mind for myself, for better preparation.
I'm actually kind of sorry his student loans have been forgiven, I was kind of looking forward to saying "Fuck you, he escaped!"

So tomorrow I have to take off work to go up and sign paperwork for the final stages. Yippee Skippee. Thankfully Kara is coming down to get me. I didn't want to have to go up into the city for a while, but fortunately we're not going anywhere near the University. I'm sorry we can't do what he wanted, but he can argue it with me the next time he sees me.

Connie, I'm sure your right in what you said earlier. He wouldn't have wanted any of this to be a big hassle for you.
