Schiavo Kin: Parents Not Wanted at Burial
Guardian ^ | 3/31/05 | MICHAEL RUBINKAM

Associated Press Writer

LEVITTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Terri Schiavo's ashes will be buried in an undisclosed location near Philadelphia so that her immediate family doesn't show up and turn the burial into a media spectacle, a member of the Schiavo family said Thursday.

``If Mike knew they would come in peace, he would have no problem with it,'' Scott Schiavo, Michael Schiavo's brother, said during an interview at his home.

After an autopsy, Michael Schiavo plans to have his wife's body cremated and her ashes brought to Pennsylvania, where she grew up. Scott Schiavo said the ashes would be buried in a plot left by an aunt and uncle, but the family does not plan on providing the specficic location for the burial - underscoring the bitterness of the dispute.

Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had fought for years to prevent her feeding tube from being removed, and they opposed cremation and wanted her buried in Florida.

Neither Terri Schiavo's parents nor her siblings addressed the issue of her burial in their remarks to reporters in Florida on Thursday. A spiritual adviser to her parents, Paul O'Donnell, said they plan to hold a Roman Catholic Mass without her body sometime next week.

Scott Schiavo said he received a stream of calls Thursday from people denouncing him. On his answering machine was a message from a man from Texas who called the Schiavo family murderers.

Police made visits Thursday to both Scott Schiavo's home and the home of his brother, William, in Philadelphia, as a result of threats to the families.

Scott Schiavo expressed relief that his sister-in-law's ordeal was over, and anger at those who have attacked the Schiavo family.

``This isn't over by a long shot, We're going to get our name right,'' he said. ``The world is going to know who Mike was, they're going to know Mike wasn't a beast.''

At Terri Schiavo's alma mater, Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, workers changed a sign that read ``Terri Schiavo, Class of 1981, We pray that you may live'' to ``We pray that you rest in peace.''

If we can locate Freepers who know the Schiavos....who can look up the gravesites of other schiavo deceased....we could do a little sleuthing and LOCATE TERRI for the Schindlers!

But....we will never know when they get her ashes.

Nor will we know when they bury them.

My guess is that michael schiavo will dump them in the trash or keep them in his closet for a trophy as most sociopathic killers do with keepsakes from their adventures.

I've heard it several places, mostly radio. I'll see if I can get a verifiable source. (Yeah, right.)

No but it is awful strange he didnt "remember" she wanted to DIE until AFTER 6 years, and a 1.4 million for her care, and $600,000.00 settlement his loss of her as a wife. Now after living (unlawfully) with another woman for years, siring 2 kids, and refusing to divorce her or release her to her family for care, he spends the money for Terris care on lawyers to KILL her. He violates Terris and her parents faith by having her creamated, and buried far far away from where they live AND forbidding them attending the funeral. and YOU worry they accused him of beating her as suggested by Drs who saw her??? Im with the Schindlers on this one!!!

There you go, bringing up those annoying details to soil the name of St. Michael.

Have you even heard if the Schindlers ~want~ to come to Michael's side's service? This article proposes a red herring that we don't even know is relevant. The Schindlers would be masochists to even desire to be there. They will find the best comfort at the Catholic Mass by their own priest.

I Just wanted to make note of the very odd DERTH of offers, among the leaders and members of the mantric lockstep society (WPPFF,) of prayers for Terri's family on her passing, or even, for that matter, offers for Terri to rest in peace.

Just a curious observation....

The nurse who sat on the left of your screen...her name has been brought up on Terri threads for years.

My concern right now is this...WHO is the person doing the AUTOPSY? IS THIS PERSON CONNECTED...no wait...HOW is this person connected to the death squad of GREER-FELOS-SCHIAVO? How is this person going to manip[ilate evidence? This person(s) is probably "working" on Terri right now. WHO IS MONITORING THIS AUTOPSY? These people who designed this whole thing are just as evil and crafty as the Clintoons! Every cell in me tells me this so-called autopsy was "done" weeks ago.

YES CHERRY-

It is a fact, and Felos recused himself from the chairman of the board of the suncoast hospice AFTER it became known that he held that post, and AFTER Terri had already been imprisoned in a house of death.

My family has used hospice. Many have here. These people are trained to help the DYING pass over. With withdrawal of food (but ALL of these people are WAY PAST EATING...end stage cancer, certain other terminal disease, cause this) and if the family can stand it, dehydration because that SPEEDS DEATH.

Morphine is used to ease the pain. It is put on the tongue.

TERRI was NOT terminally ill and was ILLEGALLY put into a hospice. You have to be diagnosed as going to die within SIX MONTHS to be in a hospice and especially to receive MEDICAID. Which TERRI was on...because michael and felos petitioned greer to get on it..and he agreed.

NO DOCTOR SIGNED the form that said Terri has six months to live.

And FELOS was on the board, SO is the woman who RUNS woodside hospice....mary labyak...a GENUINE DEATH MONGER who is a member of the american euthanasists society, as is felos, a society that has recently changed it names to "Caring < something or other >, some euphemism that folks will not catch onto.

Posting the whole article "just in case:"

Author of Litigation as Spiritual Practice Attorney George J. Felos is a nationally recognized expert in right-to-die cases. He is best known for the landmark case that helped establish an individual's constitutional right to refuse or have withdrawn unwanted medical treatment, Guardianship of Browning, and the current case of a vegetative young woman, Terri Schiavo, which was featured on NBC's Dateline program.

He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs including CBS's Early Show, CNN's Burden of Proof, Daybreak and Greenfield at Large, Court TV's Pros and Cons, Inside Edition, The Kathy Fountain Show, and NPR's All Things Considered. He has also presented seminars and debated end-of-life issues for various professional, civic and religious groups, and leads meditation and personal growth workshops.

Felos is the creator of Meditation for Lawyers, the first-of-its-kind instructional course accredited for continuing legal education. His article by the same name has been published and posted in various journals.

Felos graduated from Boston University School of Law, has practiced in Pinellas County since 1978, was a founding member of the National Legal Advisors Committee on Choice in Dying, and served as Board Chair of The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, the largest non-profit Hospice in the world.

A classical pianist, yoga teacher, Hospice volunteer, saltwater fisherman, and guest minister to various churches in his spare time, Felos resides in Dunedin with his son, Alexander.

Freepers in the area could spread out to the cemeteries and do some searching and contact the Schindlers.

Absolutely everyone I have talked to thinks Michael is a liar and may have even gotten away with murder.

I see no reason to believe he's gotten away with it yet.

Speaking of weddings, in the eyes of the church, does Terri's death now make MS a widower now able to marry the "devout catholic" mistress, with full blessings of the church?

Given that according to the Catholic Church Michael killed his wife, no. Murdering ones spouse makes one permanently inelligible for remarriage.

That is a classic sign of an abusive controlling spouse.
