I’m glad for you and your cat but the question was, do hospitals even allow that now?

We mourned and funeralized our cat this way last week.

As for humans, they do have ways to release the body to the family. I have friends who have had funerals for stillborn children over the past several years.

It's a much loved and anticipated family member, not a hunk of biowaste.

Thanks for your reply. Funerals are usually run by state licensed funeral homes. Unless I'm very wrong, releasing the body to "the family" usually means the family's choice of funeral homes but I could be wrong which is why I asked the question.

I’m very sorry to hear of the loss of your cat.

Alan Colmes is a grotesquely deranged person. He was one of those insisting that Trig Palin is something other than the perfectly ordinary child of Sarah and Todd. When a person can project such bizarre fantasies onto others, you have to wonder what he’s done in his own life ...
