After taking the delivery, Harris signed some paperwork while remaining inside his car.

All-States Crematorium has restricted access to their office in order to comply with social distancing rules.



A handshake condolence from the employee, not a hug: The pair greeted each other wearings masks and gloves.

The man should just have let the ashes go for safety purposes. Whether we like to hear it or not, it's just ashes.

That's their way when they cremate. There's even cemetery for urns/ashes. Someone like him might decide to keep till death.

C'mon na. Whether you like to hear it or not, it's his wife (call it remains, it doesn't matter). Do you know how close they might have been?.
