    Can I ask how long you had to wait, and I think it was a fantastic thing for your dad to do by the way.

    I might be wrong....but approx 9 months :( he died of colon cancer. I am glad that his remains went to research, as he wanted it. But it was a hard wait. But as it turned out....he was done and dusted by the time OH got out of hospital, so I had some support for the funeral.

    We had a sort of wake? after he died for ( what few family we have) and friends ( lots :D). The burial was just me, OH and oldest 2 kids

    ok family history in a can. Dad had no family....he was ( almost certainly illegally ) adopted at the end of WW2. only child. my mother had 2 brothers, both died young. Im an only child.....no family. There were a few friend from his RAF days at the service when he died. I never invited anyone to the funeral. All the goodbyes had been said by then.

    It scares me.....I have absolutely no family at all :(
