AnswerIf you are cremated it is a matter of choice whether you have a gravestone. If your ashes are buried in a small plot, you may have a gravestone. Others have a small plaque placed in a wall, behind which the ashes may be placed. Others have their ashes scattered at sea, and so on, in which case there would be no gravestone or the equivalent.
no not many Romans were buried. The Romans saw burial as barbaric seeing as a person would slowly decay under ground, instead they were cremated ( burnt) and then the ashes would be put in a mausoleum (if rich). the cremations then are probably what inspired people to be cremated today.
He was cremated in January,29 2007. It was declared on January 29,2008 that the ashes would be put in front of an entrance to Churchill Downs with a bronze statue of Barbaro on top of them.
The answer is going to be very state specific. I in Washington I can have a viking burial, where my dead body is put on a raft set afire and pushed out two sea. But me being frugal, would be cremated then bury me where ever or throw my ashes all over(mountain)etc.
Einstein didn't want to have a grave where people would come worship him. So he chose to be cremated and have his ashes spread over a secret location.
Ashes come from the burning of something. This would be charcol or wood or cigarettes. When humans are cremated that makes ashes as well. Ashes seem to come from just about anything.
Urn would be one. Funerary urns are used to store a cremated person's ashes.
Having the ashes added into the black ink of a tattoo can keep your loved ones (pets included) closer to you long after they are gone.
It sounds like you are confusing Roman burial customs with other cultures. The Romans, for the most part did not bury their weapons with them. Perhaps a distinguished officer might have this type of burial, but only rarely and only if he were buried in the first place. Now, the Romans did inter or bury their dead at certain times, but for the most part they cremated their dead. ( It would be difficult to get a sword into a jar of ashes.) At any rate, the soldier was normally cremated and his ashes sent home to his family. If he did not specifically bequeath his sword or knife, his only personal weapons, to someone, his weapons were taken and given out to someone else.
Beowulf's funeral was held at Heorot, the great hall of King Hrothgar, after he was mortally wounded by a dragon. He was cremated on a funeral pyre and his ashes were buried in a barrow overlooking the sea as a mark of his heroic deeds.
Hitler's body was cremated and the ashes was thrown in the Elbe river so nobody would be able to find his body now.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are going through a normal grieving process and there is nothing wrong with keeping your husband's ashes close to you if it brings you some peace. You can keep his ashes with the request in your Will that you have your husband's ashes buried with you or, if you have chosen to be cremated then have both sets of ashes taken to the favorite place of your husbands and you and have the ashes scattered (many people do this.) In time the hurt will go away, but of course your husband will always be in your heart. Remind yourself of what he would think if you just sat about forever and didn't dust yourself off eventually and start living.
