This gesture didn't miss Marie's eyes. She felt touched that Nicolae chose the most beautiful and expensive casket for her mother. She knew how kind this man really was.
Marie tried to hold back her tears while bidding her farewell to her mother one last time. She placed a bouquet of flowers on the beautiful casket and prayed silently before finally nodding to the crematorium staff and letting the man took her mother's coffin toward the furnace.
"The cremation process will take around two hours. We can wait here to take the ashes immediately or go somewhere while waiting. Do you want to go for a walk to get some fresh air?" Nicolae asked Marie. "The staff said we should go back in three hours to give them time to prepare the ashes for us to take and a nice container."
Marie looked pensive at Nicolae's words.
"Let's not wait here." Finally, the girl made a decision.
