I ask because every Spring my wife and I visit Queens Park cemetery to visit the grave sites of my Mother and grand parents. We pick a nice afternoon and take a bucket, a spade and some cleaning supplies and clean their headstones of overgrown grass, dirt and grime. We 'tell them our news' as we go about this business and say good bye when we're done.

My dad, a cousin, my uncle and a couple of my close friends were all cremated. Each and every day they are in my thoughts as I go about my business. With my dad we took his ashes to his favourite lake in BC and had them spread in his favourite fishing spot.
What you and your wife do is great and it's a shame other families don't do the same.
