Cindy & George Pick Out Jewelry for Caylee - (Cremation Jewelry?)

[Bree0372]

I just hope Caylee is buried with her beloved Mama Doll.

and

I believe that if asked, OCSO, LE and especially Yuri and Allen, would move the earth to have Mama Doll returned for Caylee's burial. To my knowledge, it has no forensic value, so I believe they could get by in court with just pictures.

Caylee never went anywhere without it.

I believe that each of those professionals want to do right by Caylee in every way they can.

I pray that Caylee is buried with her Mama doll too. It would be a comfort item at least. I still hurt each time I see her precious face and to know that she is no longer with us. So sad!

My cousin Sandra was killed (ATV accident) when she was 20 years old. She was an only child. Her mom literally had a heart attack during the ordeal. Anyway, Sandra had a love of shoes...nice ones, weird ones....so her mom said she (Sandra) would want to take them with her if she could. So when Sandra was buried, all of her shoes were buried with her. At the viewing they were placed around the base of the casket base.

Yes she should, but she should also have an understanding of decomposition, the smell of decomposition, and an understanding of dna.

Okay, I can't resist....(my bold)...."NO ODOR!!!" My hubby starts saying that everytime he sees CA on the tv.

You mean that silly ol' hocus pocus?
or
Science is just science.:crazy:

Yeah, that. Thanks, I couldn't remember her exact words. They are priceless aren't they? I'd love to be her patient, "well...the doc said that your bp is high but that's just hocus pocus" :crazy:

I haven't seen this discussed anywhere but if it has please disregard and delete.
I heard this mentioned several times and finally a light bulb went off in my head.
Why would CA ask GA to pick out some jewelry for Caylee?
Isn't she just bones in a cardboard box? What would be the purpose? Its not like they can put them on her to make her look pretty. I just don't get it.
(ps I know the image pictured isn't pretty but ... this isn't a pretty case.)
Any others thoughts on this?

I understand what you are saying...and I also understood that the A's were planning on a cremation rather than a burial. However, though I have never lost a child, I know that I would want him/her buried (or cremated) with a few of their possessions. It seems so lonely to bury them without anything. A favorite teddy, a blanket, perhaps a favorite outfit. Though they can't "dress" her like I am sure they would have liked to, maybe they would just like to put some things with her. It seems from many of the photos we have seen that Caylee loved playing dress up - most girls her age do. So maybe they were wanting to put some of those things with her - some of the things she enjoyed. I don't know - but I imagine their thoughts are somewhere along those lines. Just trying to give her as "normal" a burial/cremation as possible under these horrible circumstances.

You're welcome. :blowkiss:
Looks like JBean already put you there.

 

[Clock's Tickin]

Perhaps they were picking out some of Caylee's jewelry for THEM to wear in her memory at the service??

Bump??

I'm sorry, but what does "bump" mean?

After thinking about Cindy's statement, about asking George to pick out jewlery, & watching NG last night, I do not believe that is what precipitated George's breakdown. It is just another Yarn spun by Cindy to LE garnering sympathy & turning the focus away from KC.

I feel what really made George spiral down was the latest findings about the duct tape & heart shape sticker, as many also do.

Can you imagine Cindy actually putting that in a report, that "George seemed to get really depressed after he heard about the sticker on the mouth"? casting more shadows on poor KC?

I think the jewlery story is absurd!

It seemed weird to me at first to put jewelry on bones, but I wasn't thinking that I did the same thing with funerals in my family. Not all burials are about perfectly preserved bodies. With my uncle, we put a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket. No one condoned his smoking, but no one could picture him with a pack in his shirt pocket.

My friend was a 30 year old father. His children drew pictures that they tuck in his casket.

Egyptians would bury royalty with stuff needed in afterlife- even food.

It seems to me that George and Cindy loved giving their granddaughter "things." I can see them wanting to continue this tradition. They will probably put jewelry and toys and books and maybe symbols of family members or pictures.

I think if we were to examine any family's funeral traditions that we might find some to be odd. When my father died, my mother sent my brother to photograph him in his casket prior to the viewing. Not sure if this is true or not, but my mom said it was something that Polish people do.

Just my two cents.

I wish to offer my prayers to George and Cindy Anthony on their horrific loss and I cannot imagine the difficult times and stress that they must be going thru - God be with them.

Whatever the state of the body, I think they are honoring the living Caylee by placing items in her casket she would have loved in life. I don't see anything wrong with this at all. Despite what anyone thinks of the A's, they've been through more in the past few months than I wish on anyone and they deserve to move through their grief in what ever way they choose. I do hope Caylee's favorite doll is allowed to be buried with her as well.

I don't judge how people mourn.

Some people cry. Some people go out and drink themselves to death, some go party and serial-date.

If they want jewelry in her coffin so be it. Anything to help them heal the wound.

Just to add another line concerning putting things in the casket :

When a dear child , who was the same age as my son and in the same class in a small school , was killed in a car accident, and his mother was so severely injured she could not attend any of the services for him and the whole school was in mourning the father was the main speaker at the first service.
As he placed some of his son's special things in the casket with him he spoke of him with remembrances connected to each one. It was very painful but somehow comforting . When a tree was planted in the schoolyard and dedicated to his memory I was still so affected by it all that I felt compelled to make some sort of gesture. I put several small rubber balls that he had given my son in glass container and put it in the ground as the tree was being planted.
Could add many other instances of things I have seen people do at times of death of a loved one but just one more. When my mtr.-in-law passed away I put a piece of jewelry in the casket with her. It was a silver locket and chain with a picture inside which we had given her years before.Though I have some guesses I really don't know why I did it as I truly believed and still do that she was with God.
Maybe some of our psychology trained people here have some ideas as to why we do these things. (or , maybe some have offered ideas and I missed them).

I just somehow get the impression that Caylee may be cremated rather than be buried in a casket. If so, then Cindy may be talking about jewelry that carries a small amount of the ashes in it. That company can also make different colored stones out of the ashes. Could this be the jewelry she was talking about George picking out? Some people might think that type of jewelry is fine while others are horrified by the thought of it. George might be one of those people who are horrified by it.

I don't see anything wrong with burying Caylee with jewelry, any kind of jewelry. Obviously, in looking at pics of her, jewelry was something Caylee liked, like most little girls. People bury their loved ones with all kinds of things, pictures, letters, jewelry, stuffed animals........all kinds of things. It doesn't matter if earrings can't be placed on her ears, if rings can't be placed on her fingers, if a necklace can't be placed around her neck or a bracelet around her wrist. The point is to lay her to rest with things she loved. I think its a beautiful gesture.
