there was no place for cremation in Vermont... my Grandfather drowned in Mallard's Bay (Lake Champlain) and they had to take his body to Troy New York to cremate... (cremation because they sent him to Illinois to be buried next to his mother in Belvidere (right next to a Frank Lloyd Wright building )

interesting article...

we have a crematorium in our little town and I have used their services a number of times
