Pancreatic cancer

IF he declined to go into thier facility while he was mentally competent, I can't imagine they will let him change his mind UNLESS he is still mentally competent to do so

As for the cremation, its been a while since my father in law died, and that was the only time I had to deal with it

If I remember correctly I called the funeral home and they came and picked him up

The next day, he was cremated, and several days later his cremains (sorry, thier term) were delivered to us

The wife tells me that unless you have a particular religious conviction that YOU need to be the one who pushes the button, they will not let you into the crematorium
(It appears some Asian religions require a relative to be the one to push the button)


Don't be afraid to ask the hospice nurses these things
Thier job is not just dealing with the patient, but also preparing thier loved ones, and if you ask them, you may get answers to questions you didn't even realize you needed to ask
