I just read an article in the Orange County Register. California just passed
a law allowing the spreading of cremated remains. According to this article,
California had been the only state that prohibited such disposition of
creamated remains.

The point I guess that I am trying to make, in genealogy we hit a lot of
brick walls because we can't find headstones in cemeteries. What will this
modern day disposal do to future generations? I can only hope that our work
will leave paper or electronic records for our ancestors to research. Unless
we are an Abraham Lincoln or JFK our ancestries are up to us to research.
Get your records out on the internet, let others share in them. I personally
feel that cremation will be the way of the future as more and more of our
earth is used for development for the living instead of memorials to the
dead.

Comments please.
