What you and your wife do is great and it's a shame other families don't do the same.

How is it a shame, everyone alive will have people close to them die over the course of their lives, it is a natural component of life. I don't need to visit a grave in order to remember someone. The other component is that no matter how loved someone is, eventually with enough time that passes they will be forgotten to all. Do you go around and clean up the grave of your great-uncle?
Also does it bother you that animals evacuate their bowels in the lake that your dad's remains were scattered?
