Terri Schiavo's husband is set to inflict what her grieving relatives charge is the final insult: insisting that her body be cremated against their religious wishes — and then buried in his own family's plot.
"They would like to have her body so they can have a Christian Mass and a Christian burial," said Brother Paul O'Donnell, the spiritual adviser to the deeply Roman Catholic family.
"They want their daughter. If they can't have her in life, they would hope he'd have compassion and give her in death."
But Michael Schiavo refused to budge on the extremely emotional issue as his tragic wife lay dying nine days after the courts sided with him and ordered her feeding tube removed.
His lawyer, George Felos, cited one court order earlier this month that granted him the right to cremate her, despite her anguished parents' and siblings' wishes.
"That's what the court has ordered," Felos said. "This was challenged prior to the removal of the feeding tube, and it will happen because that's what the court has ordered."
As with the feeding-tube removal, Mary and Bob Schindler had fought against their son-in-law in his bid to cremate their daughter's body once she dies.
They said they want to bury her in Florida instead of having her cremated and interred in the Schiavo family plot in Pennsylvania.
While O'Donnell appeared to keep his words measured over the simmering dispute, another family spokesman, Randall Terry, was more direct about his feelings for Michael Schiavo.
"He's a despicable swine for doing that," Terry said of Schiavo's cremation plans.

Note I said some ass LIKE Randall Terry. Dont have to be psychic to know some bottom feeders are going to be circling around the body.
His motives are crystal clear.
Power and hate.
He has the legal power, and he's not surrendering an iota of it for decency or feelings.
And he hates. He HATES Terri for staying alive this long, and he hates her parents.
You nailed it.
There are plenty of bottom feeders on both sides of the case.
If he ever was, he isn't anymore. He's "moved on" to some sort of new age, zen like stuff...meditation, whatnot.
Heavenly Father - We pray for a miracle from Thee even at this late hour on behalf of our precious innocent little Sister - In the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
When a man and a woman are married they become one flesh. They belong to each other. Terri's parents have no say whatsoever about this as long as Terri's husband is alive and married to her.
The parents need to give it a rest.
You make me ill. He is her "de facto" EX-HUSBAND. Hello, do you have a brain? No woman would want some asswipe like MS treating her parents this way or calling the shots when in fact he is only her husband "de jure"
Thanks, NYer!
For some that thought the 'cremation order' idle gossip, this should provide material for reconsideration of their belief that MS is acting out of love for Terri and carrying out her wishes.
Nothing I've read indicates that Terri would have requested a departing slap in the face of the woman that gave birth to her.
"My prediction is MS will become the flower boy for the right-to-die movement."
IF....the effort to manage him remains intact. Control may be his thing, but self-control is not.
There is no credible evidence to support this idea. It's all rumor and innuendo.
I may just be a layman, but I can read, and there are court documents out there for the reading.
I wonder how the Pinellas inmates react when MRS comes around (he must have already used up all his leave days) to give them an injection?
The popular George W. Greer (who will never again seek office) ruled long ago that the parents had no "standing to sue" in his court.
According to Julie Banderas, Fox, he's staying at Woodside 24/7 right now.
When he's back, and if I were being incarcerated, I would check EVERY box on any entry forms FOR allergy to medication.
So true.
His live in's name is Jenny Centonze -maybe if we could get address/phone/email we could spread some crap in her direction.
His live in's name is Jenny Centonze -maybe if we could get address/phone/email we could try and appeal to her senses as a mom.
>>Let your daughter marry an abuser, and then come back and tell us it's not your business.<<
Actually, I was thinking of that very scenario when I typed my message. And I might be motivated to do something "outside" the law, but according to the law I have no claim whatsoever. And even moreso according to what is said in the New Testament and Old.

Lay off the coffee and get back to me. ;)
