Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains in a Clearwater cemetery Monday, inscribing on her bronze grave marker that ``I kept my promise.''
David Gibbs, an attorney for the woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said inscribing the marker that way was a nasty political statement by Michael Schiavo, who held the service and burial Monday before telling her family.
``Obviously, that's a real shot and another unkind act toward a grieving mom and dad,'' Gibbs said.
After earlier announcing plans to bury his wife's ashes in their native Pennsylvania, Michael Schiavo instead interred them at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, near Tampa, his attorney, George Felos, said in a short news release Monday.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being.
Which promise was that? The one where he said he was gonna take care of her for the rest oif his life?

A mom and dad who called MS a murderer.
That can kinda sting a little bit.
Terri Schiavo's remains buried in Clearwater
Does that mean we can see her from a glss bottom boat?
Maybe it was his "until death do us part, sickness or health" marriage vow, which apparently means you can shack up and have kids if your wife is incapacitated.
Which promise? To see her dead.
This guy is one of the most heartless bastards I have ever heard about. If I ever ran into him in public, I really don't know if I could resist the impulse to kick him in the balls. He gives perfect credence to the saying "The best part of you ran down your mother's leg."
Beat me to it.
It's more poetic than "I tried my damnest to cash in on your death, but your religious nut parents f'ed it up."
Schiavo Autopsy Brings Out the Worst in Terri's Opponents
Mr. Schiavo now has an agent and is shopping a book to New York publishers about his struggle. You can understand that after all those soft-ball interviews Mr. Schiavo got on network TV in the final months of his wife's life, the experience might have gone to his head, to make him feel that he has important ideas.

Pathetic, dreadful, sad...what else is there to say?
The family basically accused him of negligent homocide and you don't understand why he's angry?
The heresy continues... for now. We have not forgotten you Theresa Marie Schindler. We Never will, dearheart
This is the final chapter for Terri, but it must not be the final chapter for those who murdered her and will murder others given half a chance. They must face justice.
Actually it wasn't a negligent homicide, it was a very deliberate one.
SICK, SICK, SICK, SICK evil and demonic man.If you read Free Republic MS,a word to you.....
"Someday Michael, you will meet Terri's GOD!!!!!!!!!Unless you repent of your sinfulness, HE will have the LAST WORD.....GOD will keep HIS PROMISE to YOU" Everlasting punishement.
ping
"The family basically accused him of negligent homocide and you don't understand why he's angry?"
O.J. Simpson was "angry" also.
For crying out loud, Michael. Dont you know that a gravestone is NOT ABOUT YOU!
Who does Michael think he is, EVITA?
What a bogus, bogus inscription Michael. You NEVER made such a promise to Terri, you LIAR.
"I kept my promise?" Guilt sure does make people do screwing things. This Schiavo character is nothing but a scumbag loser. I can't believe he had the gall to pull some ---- like this.
That can kinda sting a little bit."
Awwww, I'm crying buckets for MS.
If you are the parents and siblings of the one who is murdered, your suffering goes far deeper than a sting.
The promise to forsake all others until death?
Terri's gravesite will now become a place to pilgrimage to, and a shrine. Mark my words. Michael would have been better off not burying her in FL where all the "supporters" will now parade to, giving Terri no peace even in her grave. I hope this doesn't happen, but I bet it will.
Good for Michael, after all the crap slung at him by the know-nothings, he is moving on and getting over it.
Maybe her parents will get over it.
Of course. That's why he buried her in Florida and not at the family plot in Pennsylvania.
I wouldn't want to have a relative buried in that cemetary now. Can you imagine?
After what, eighteen years of Terri being a vegetable, he had no right to get on with his life?
;]
I guess you could say the oath to love her ,and to foresake all others, in sickness and health can't really be called a promise either....I don't want anyone to call me judgmental for goodness sake.
People here who had zero invested in the whole thing have yet to get on with their lives.
(I'm almost ashamed to think it)
Did he really bury her remains here?
Could he have just placed the marker there in Clearwater, as a "shrine" for those who wish to mourn her there (like her parents), and really took her remains to Pennsylvania where he originally intended to bury them?
His self serving" "I kept my promise" jab on the headstone speaks loudly of his mindset, not to mention his tastelessness.
/tin foil
Yep. No good will come from this.
He had the right to divorce her. Legally he could have done so any time three years after she became incapacitated.
She also had the right to a divorce. If she'd had an honest guardian, she would almost certainly have received one.
Nobody here is faulting Michael for wanting to get on with his life. Where we fault him is for his refusal to let Terri do likewise.
To claim that a married man who has not only slept with another woman, but fathered children by her and OPENLY PLEDGED TO MARRY HER should have any authority over his wife is to make a mockery of marriage.
Your Post #8 is the funniest thing I have ever read on FR. Tears are streaming down my face. Thanks for a good laugh; I needed that. LOL up the wazoo!!!!!!!!
Yes it did. You know there are records of who is buried in the cemetary. Of course, it could be a conspiracy with the sexton, the recorder of cemetary deeds, and the workers. LOL! Get a grip.
"Departed this earth" because Michael Schiavo had her killed. This is so sick it's almost funny. Are these people serious? LOL!!! Terri was killed by dehydration and starvation and Michael Schiavo has the nerve to put "beloved wife" on the tombstone? LOL!!! What a sick man.
It was a spiritual thing. The devil thinks he won this round but in the end, God will have the last laugh/word. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Who puts the word "I" on someone else's tombstone? This proves it was all about Michael. What an egomanical douche.
Uh, let me clue you in on a little secret. Terri isn't in her grave. Her ashes are (unless Michael flushed them down the toilet). Terri is in heaven. No matter what goes on down here on earth, she is at peace with God.
Why would God want the last laugh/word when He is the one that allowed her to become a vegetable? If God was interested in a last laugh, at any time in the 15 years, he would have healed her and told her to walk out of the care home!
Get over it, she never, ever would have gotten better and Michael is not the monster that everyone here has libeled him as.
What a sorry state of affairs that our legal system cannot recognize the true character of such evil and debased individuals.
Like for instance, yourself.
I go out of my way to avoid the mania of these threads, but enough is enough, let her go, get on with your life, the autopsy proved what everyone said. If she were still alive she would still be trapped, never to ever recover.
You are sadly mistaken. On all counts.
Yeah, of course she wouldn't get better. She was denied treatment for 10 years, as he went and cheated with another woman and had children, and didn't have the guts or dignity to divorce her.
Real nice guy there you are sticking up for.
BTW, Michael is a bigger monster than you can imagine. How naive and delude you are.
That's "deluded."
Like I said, I was almost ashamed to admit it.
Either that, or I'm reading too many of the conspiracy theorists here on FR! LOL
