You know, Grandma could have made several hundred pounds of mealworms, enough to feed a whole bunch of chickens for a long time. But no, they had to go and cremate her instead.
I once had a shipmate who had worked at a funeral home before he joined the Navy. He had some stories to tell about cremation. For instance, most of those ashes are actually from the box Grandma was burned in. Also, you only get enough ashes to fill the urn; the rest are disposed of "elsewhere". I need to make sure my heirs don't have me cremated...
So Grandma got to the "other side" before the chickens
