So I lost my mom last month. I got chewed out by a priest because they want me to bury her immediately – I can’t afford it as I’m waiting on her life insurance. I wanted to take my moms ashes on a trip (I completed one trip today), but I’m not scattering her remains I know she wanted to be buried next to my brother and grandparents. So I have to know if spirits care what happens to their remains?

Do Spirits care what happens to their remains?

Spirits go through a healing process after their bodily death, and they are made aware during that time that they are now separated from their physical form. I believe I’ve made connections with those beyond the veil, and got the feeling that there was only relief from this. Especially from people who were older with weakened and diseased bodies. Sort of like dropping an old, outdated outfit off at Goodwill, or when someone moves from a broken down trailer into a million dollar mansion. There is no longer any attachment to their bodies and it really does not matter to the spirits what is done with them.
Don’t move forward until you are ready. It’s always prudent to wait until the money is in your bank account before spending it. Especially if it may be delayed, or may not even materialize as expected. Reaching out to others for help may be an option of that it possible for you.

Spirits do not care as much as you might think. Since spirit are all individuals, individual wishes may vary.
The priest was expressing his own opinion based on his own bias. Priests ae also individuals. Cremation is recognized as valid now, by the Roman Catholic Church. so, I find his reaction, confusing, unless your mother had expressed her wishes to him.
Don’t worry about it.

Like others have said so far, the dead don’t really care because they understand that their bodies aren’t part of themselves anymore. So when it comes to what loved ones do with the remains, it’s really the thought that counts. If you act in a loving way, if you treat the ashes in a way that honors your mother, then of course she’ll know and appreciate that. No need to go to unreasonable lengths though — she’ll understand.
I read professionally but I’d say that covers it. She’ll be okay and you’ll be okay too. 🙂

I avoid contact with the dead but I will tell you I got messages from my own grandpa. We were renting out his home to some not so well off people and their kids kept telling my dad (who handles the business with renting) they saw an old man at the thermostat at night. I asked my dad to ask them what he looks like and they said he’s wearing a white t shirt. My grandpa always wore a white t shirt and hated being cold so he’d change the thermostat all the time. Previous to this I had prayed to never have anything happen with my grandpa because we were so close it would have freaked me out.
Well…to cut it short after this I decided to “open myself up” to it and I had dreams that he was angry that they were tearing up his house. They claimed everything was fine but within a few years some drama went down when they stopped paying and my dad checked out the house and the chandelier in the kitchen he saved up for and was so proud of wasn’t in the ceiling anymore, there were stains everywhere, holes in the walls, the brick steps to the back porch were falling apart, the shed in the back had been halfway taken down…
There’s no way I could have known that as I had moved out of state and never even met these people.
So, in this case someone cared very much about their old HOME, so I would imagine many care very very much about their old bodies.
About your mom…don’t upset yourself too badly. It’s your mom, I’m sure she’d understand what you’re doing through. You know best what she’d want.

Thanks all for the input. I think what’s been roughest about the grieving process is knowing the world doesn’t stop when someone you loved dies. It’s been even harder on me when I’ve had full on conversations and validations of friends and loved ones who’ve crossed, but not my mom. And she called me every day, every week. It’s been harder as I take her ashes on old haunts. But it’s helped as I let the grief out. And it helps to know that the Priest can suck it.

Not as much as we seem to. Some do have more concern about that but most seem to not because they know they are not tied to that physical body anymore.
I might get some shit for this but screw that priest. Do what your heart feels is right. You knew your mom better than he did so trust that it doesn’t matter.
Enjoy your trip ❤

No they don’t. They want the living to have closure so whatever gives their loved ones the most closure the better. High vibrations spiritus don’t have any attachment for their physical body. Low vibrational spirits might because they’re still getting over passing over too
