Programming Notes

Have remains, will travel.

In my program there needs to be space for shipping. The area is called shipping, but actually if you think about it, it's really just for receiving.

Aschenurne...

Of course this makes sense. Say the word out loud and you'll surprise yourself. An ashen urn is fairly apt as a descriptor for an "ash capsule," which is what is used in Germany to hold the cremation remains.

-Need
-Scope
-Beneficiaries
-Client $
-Social Context & Considerations
-Special Needs of Site
-Time Frame

The Cremation Association of America

??? "...up into the early 1920's, cremation was the choice of the wealthy and the well-educated." Fascinating. Who knew?

It turns out there is an organization called The Cremation Association of America. It was founded in 1913. Unfortunately, they give out general information but their hard data is not available to the general public. One needs to be a member in order to gain access to current stats. Anyway, good to know.
