Residence: My parents choice a continuing care retirment community, or CCRC in 2005. The CCRC has independent, assisted living, memory unit, rehab and long term care facilities.

Funeral Service and Burial: A recommended funeral home prepared Mother for burial. Memorial services were held at my Father's church. The service included testimonies by children and grand children about Mother's life.

The family choose a traditional burial in a plain pine casket [Adirondack model] with a simple foot marker bearing name, birth date separated by a cross from date of death.

An apple tree, symbolic of renewal of life to many rural western New York state residents as my family looks over her burial site. 

Mayberry family information provided in honor of my Mother, trained as a registered nurse, who cared greatly for her patients. Intent is is to raise public awareness on the difficult topics addressed and show one family's approach. Different family could/should take different approaches to respond to their own different circumstances.
