If you're asking about a spirit visit, I don't believe in such things.  Still, if that IS what you're asking, why not go to a spiritualist (tacky tarot card shopowner) and ask for a seance?

Your best bet would be to use the yellow pages for a florist near the funeral home - or ask the funeral home directly. A local florist will be happy for the business and won't charge the same rates as an FTD florist would. You might also ask where the child is to be buried and then check with the cemetery. Many of the smaller cemeteries will allow mementos on the graves, such as toys the child liked, stained glass pieces, or plastic or silk flowers. Another wonderful gesture would be to help pay for the headstone in lieu of flowers. A nice headstone will be remembered much longer than the flowers will be.

Call the utility companies, be prepared to give them a copy of the death certificate or obituary.\n\nSo sorry to hear about your mother.

Typically, when a person passes away an announcement is put in the local paper. In the announcement, the information for visitation, funeral/wake, etc, is included along with the information about the person.\n\nMy condolences,\nHolly

Go to the library, for past newspapers.  Call area funeral homes, maybe the hospital?

You will need a copy of your brothers death certificate, your ID, and any thing else that can establish you as a direct relative.  Then go to your local Veteran affairs office and tell them what you want.  They should be either able to get them to you or at least tell you how to get them.  Since you will be dealing with the US military be patient,  there will be red tape and beuracracy to deal with.  You may also want to go to the nearest military installation of his service branch and ask the gaurd at the gate where you should go.  If you have his old military ID bring it to either of them as well.  Also make sure you have his social security card.  If driving is to far, look in your phone book and be prepared to be put on hold for a while, but be patient.

You don't need to bring anything to the funeral, call the funeral home or church ahead of time and find out if the family is requesting donations to anything and make a contribution if you wish.  Most likely there will be a guest book at the funeral for you to sign.  The widow isn't going to remember who all attended but later on she will look through the book.  You could send her a sympathy card in the mail, that would also be a really nice gesture, even though you don't know her, she would really like to see the impact her husband had on other people.  If you would like to say something to her personally, it would be fine, just pick an appropriate opportunity.  I've been to funerals where the family is lined up waiting for people to give their condolences and I've been to others where people gathered after to speak with the family.  It totally depends on the situation, just be considerate of the family.

Personally, I just lost my dad last month.  I'm still dealing.  It takes a while but the one thing you have to keep in mind is that she was here for a reason.  Whether or not there is an afterlife is irrelevent.  Each person that crosses your path, each person you interact with is there for a reason.  Whether its to teach you something or point you in the direction youre meant to go, there is a purpose.  You may miss her, but if you spend the rest of your life grieving you are not living.  You are lost in the past and moving forward because you have no alternative.  I can assure you, that is not what she would want.  I look at it this way, when you truly care for someone, you give them a piece of yourself.  You have given them your love, your support, your caring, whatever...its a part of you.  No matter where you go, they will always have that.  It is not something tangible that can be taken away or lost.  Your sister will be with you forever.  Nothing can change that..not even death.  'Sides, in my opinion death is just a speed bump in this thing called life, not an end.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Yes, it is okay that you don't want to be a pall bearer. I think they will understand that you are just not up to doing so. may her memories comfort you at this sad time. \n\nTake Care!!

I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but maybe it will help. My mother was cremated, so she has no final resting place, as such. So, what I did was, I created a place to honor her, near to my home. Anytime I want to go there, I can. Good Luck!!

I'm sorry for your loss, many Holidays must be very difficult for you. If you don't feel this is too strange , when you go to visit her on Mothers Day bring a blanket with you and just sit there for a while. My Dad died when I was 13 months old, so when I need to feel closer to him, I take a warm summer day {Hopefully Mothers Day will be warm} a blanket, maybe a book or photo album and visit. Its amazing how peaceful it might make you feel. I'm sure she loved you very much and I'm very sorry your still so sad. I hope the rest of your family is a support to you. Take care and best of everything to you.

Depending on what branch of service the recently deceased is from, usually that is set up by them. If you have to do it yourself get a hold of the persons supervisor or who ever they worked closely with. Also make sure that the will doesnt state not to have a military funeral as it is punishable by law to break the will of a military deseased.

Contact the State she passed away in and ask for The Bureo of Vital Staistics.
