[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 688002, member: 54538"] OK, I can't even believe I'm about to suggest this, but it's really late, and I've had a couple drinks, and if you can get past the ethical issues, by golly, it just might work--if you don't have qualms about flat out lying to you mother-in-law, and if you can trust your girlfriend's siblings to keep a secret for the rest of their lives... About a year ago, we had a cat that needed to be put to sleep at the vet. We took the vet's recommendation and had them take care of proper disposal of the body. [i]After[/i] we had the vet do that, our daughter decided she wanted to have a burial. Problem--no body. So we told her that we had the ashes, and we let her bury them in the garden. But she really buried the remains of a burnt newspaper. So--if the siblings can keep a secret, you could let mom bury some ashes--and let her think that they're your girlfriend's ashes. Everyone else would know the truth. Obviously, if she ever learned the truth, there would be hell to pay. But if that never happens, then everyone would be happy.... I admit, it's completely loaded with problems, and if you feel it's an insensitive ploy, I apologize. But if not--I know a lot of families where this would not only work, but this kind of ploy is standard practice, throughout their lives... [/QUOTE]
