My aunt's final committal service was today.

We buried my aunt today after her cremation had been done earlier in the week. (The funeral was last Thursday). The urn is very nice and is quite sturdy. It was a dark green one, which was her favorite color. It felt kind of different since this was the first cremation in my family. It rained really hard so we did this at the cemetery chapel instead of the graveside.
