When the family member who held everyone like glue passes away, all sorts of conflict tend to arise. One that many might not think about is disagreeing on how the person’s ashes will be shared. While this might sound strange, the rise of people who choose to be cremated is closely tied to the rise of such family disputes.
Case in point are these siblings who, after their mom’s passing, couldn’t agree on who will possess the remains. The brother wanted to have some of the ashes, while the other sibling refused to abide by his wish since he abandoned her on his wife’s demand.
