I've just obtained a copy of my grandmother's death certificate.
I'd been having a really hard time getting information on her remains and where she was transported, because my aunt and uncle (who had been taking care of her when she died) hadn't and still won't take my calls. But now that I have the certificate, I can find out for sure.

They donated her body. She was neither stored (best case scenario), buried, nor cremated; they donated her body to a hospital for medical research.

She had a burial plot reserved next to my father and grandfather, that she bought over forty years ago in advance.

Now it's going to sit empty.

I'm rather upset.
