Pinellas Park, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Michael Schiavo plans to keep the location of where he will bury Terri Schiavo's ashes a secret and will prevent Terri's family from knowing. His brother told the media on Thursday that Terri's family would show up and cause a spectacle if they found out.
"If Mike knew they would come in peace, he would have no problem with it," Scott Schiavo, Michael Schiavo's brother, told AP.
A complete autopsy will be performed on Terri's body by the local county medical examiner's office. Once that is completed, Michael plans to have Terri's body cremated and her ashes buried in Pennsylvania.
Scott told the Associated Press the ashes will be buried in a burial plot left to Michael by an aunt and uncle.
"We've already said goodbye," Bobby Schindler said when asked about not knowing where his sister would be buried.
Concerning Michael's latest decision snubbing his family, Bobby said, "He's been doing this kind of stuff for 15 years. What would make him stop now?"
Terri's parents fought for years to stop the cremate, citing Terri's Catholic religious beliefs, and asked Judge George Greer to allow Terri to be buried in Florida, closer to her family. Greer declined both requests.
Terri's parents and her family did not discuss the burial issue during their remarks to the media following Terri's death. However, Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who has been helping the family during the last two weeks, said they would hold a Catholic mass for Terri even though they will not have her body present.
The mass will take place sometime next week.
A spokesman for the Pinellas County medical examiner's office said Terri's body would be given to Michael on Friday for the cremation process to begin.
The autopsy on Terri's body may yield a preliminary look in two to three days but the office will not have final results for two to three weeks.
That is more than likely what he will do is sell by the gram..
Good on ya!!
Some of the things it seems that he does and has done seem to indicate that is a possibility.
Why don't you just "Go Home" then? Do you ever have a minute you enjoy or appreciate?
"Like the scumbag would ever go visit her.. I'm afraid he'll direct the ashes be given to a third party, and that person will have them interred."
I hold the opinion that only the urn will be interned. He'll scatter the ashes to the wind.
Sorry. Interred.
My first thought upon seeing this was that it was an April Fool's joke. But it wasn't.
yea, Michael got all the publicity he needed with his starvation/dehydration wishes for his wife.
Michael didn't want Terry's parents and siblings at her death bed,
Michael doesn't want them to know where her remains will be,
Michael doesn't want the Schiavo name forever associated with murder -
Michael wants everyone to believe he had noble intentions .....
well, Michael can't win them all.
Maybe he and Jodi will have a fight some day and then...
Maybe not too. ;-)
The man is evil.
I have seen more and more folks go from "he's a loving husband" to "What a Rat-B@st@ard!" in just the last week.
God has a very special place in hell for him.
Very special.
Very.

Thank you for the post.
The "pro-life" crowd here hate Michael Schiavo so much that most of these jacka$$es will never accept that Michael believes this is what Terri wanted.
LOL. Nah, I just think that's Michael's old PR man. ;-)
< Last year at this time my wife, Charmaine, was dying in a hospice program. >
With all due respect, Terri was not dying. She was living.
Check the death certificate, because sometimes it lists where the remains are to go. The certificate MAY be public information in Florida. Even if it isn't, the Schindlers (I would think) would be entitled to a copy.
That very intense moment was so memorable he forgot about it for 7 years.
" Michael doesn't want the Schiavo name forever associated with murder -"
I bet for the rest of his life when he is in public be it at the grocery store, restaurants, etc. Schiavo will be confronted and taunted with the word "Murderer" by people who recognize him.
I think you are exactly right.
lol.
