    I am so sorry for y’all’s loss. But I’m praising Jesus for his mercy and love to bring her on home with Him. She fought a fight that was unheard of and I know that fought was in part to my daughter Katelinn and our grand children. Meme will ALWAYS be a special woman to me because she loved my family because she wanted to to not because of exception. WOW WHAT A WOMAN!! GO REST HIGH MEME YOU DESERVE IT!!

Florida law states “A cremation may not be performed until a legally authorized person gives written authorization for such cremation,” (FS 497.607).  Furthermore, the law defines whom the “legally authorized person” is and sets up the order of priority of next of kin. We require a written authorization before scheduling any cremation or funeral services. The “Authorization for Cremation and Disposition” form must be signed by the next of kin in the following order: spouse, son or daughter (of legal age), parent, brother or sister, grandchild, grandparent.
