What do you do then? I changed the burial to cremated and then in the notes, I said her ashes were scattered at xyz beach. Some have theri ashes scattered over the rose bed at home. A friend of mine kepther husband's ashes in an urn in the garden with a small plaque, each time she moves the urn is dug up and taken to the new home and put in the new garden. She has moved three times since he died. In my friends case you could not keep changing the notes each time she moved, you could only state that her husband's ashes were buried in her garden.
