That memorial picture hits very hard for me and is just so perfect. Definitely better than being dumped on some cemetery in my opinion.
Just let him be home close to his family where he belongs and with the things he loved.

I know burial funerals are very expensive, but did Clint have Cobes cremated instead of buried because he didn't want there to be a grave?

Would he be worried it would be vandalised? Don't know if I'm missing something like it was Cobes' wishes.

Sometimes it's just families wishes, really. I've got my mom's ashes, but we buried my grandpa.

It's a real shame though. This might be a bit spergy but if I ever found myself in Wyoming I would make a trip to Casper and do a walk through the cemetery looking for his gravestone, to pay respects. It's the closest anyone is ever going to have to sitting down and have a couple cold ones with him.

Maybe look for some of the spots seen in the 2nd documentary and his videos/livestreams.

It's probably for the best though, I wouldn't want strangers visiting my family member's grave. There's a non-negligible chance it would be vandalised within a few years.

He can always be buried later if they wish, I think most cemeteries allow you to buy a plot and bury remains much later.

Agreed, definitely don’t think it’s a sperg moment. I mean, Josh loved cemeteries after all. Lost my grandfather last month and we had him cremated, but my grandparents had purchased a burial plot years ago, so his ashes were ‘buried’ there. I would do the same, aka stopping by the cemetery if I ever came through Casper, which is very, very highly unlikely. Sentiment still remains regardless

Real talk, I think Clint got him cremated so the boy has a final resting place far away from trole interference. I don't keep up with the a-log thread and Cobes' a-logs in general, so I couldn't tell you if it's a real worry or not but if I were in Clint's stead, I would 1000% rather have my boy in my vicinity. I'm not american so I don't know if keeping ashes of the deceased is super common but it's generally not common in my european country.

It could be really cool if Cobes got a memorial of some kind, where all of us genuine fans could visit and pay our respects but I also think that the Saunders clan deserve peace and privacy now that Josh has passed. They don't deserve the potential weenery and a-logging.

Keeping ashes isn't uncommon here but usually people want something done with their ashes. I doubt Cobes had a will put together or talked much about it to his family though. It's sad that there won't be a gravestone for him but I know for a fact some blowhard dipshit would fuck with it so I don't blame the family.

My grand fantasy was to actually go visit cobra and have a beer with him. (Not too fuck with him, or get on stream) a grave would be nice, to sit down and drink a shot of something.

Without a doubt someone would fuck with the grave, imagine that, his young sisters having to deal with this.

You know Cobra would have had a sweet take on Charlie Kirk.
 
I’m glad Clint is keeping him close. There’s a type of poetry about having a son with ODD that he had to work so hard to stay close to as much as he pulled away, and now they’ll be together for the rest of this life and beyond.

Nothing but love for Clint and the Saunders clan from this cold hearted Kiwi ❤️❤️
 
pure speculation on my part but I think the cremation and keeping the ashes is to avoid malicious actors pulling an Ethan Ralph at the grave.

I’m not that surprised about the cremation as it is becoming more popular but the key thing I noticed, is in my experience, you put the ashes after in a enclosed tomb on a small grave plot or put the ashes in a mausoleum with a name. It’s not wild to keep the ashes but I see far more doing this than keeping it in their homes.

I could be way off the reservation and it is just what the family wanted but not all people are well wishing of Josh now that he’s passed. Browse through the comments on some videos of Josh and there are still people who genuinely don’t like the guy. I’m sure Clint knows these people won’t just disappear and forget all about Josh now that he’s passed.

He might choose to be buried with his ashes when he dies. That’s not uncommon.

This is from Clints Facebook. This honestly fucked me up.
I think this is honestly, and I mean this sincerely, Clints most artistic photo. The peak of his photogrophy is all right here. It perfectly encapsulates the end of Josh's journey. This fucking picture just broke my heart all over again dude.

Edited to add gay emotions.

Cobra is chillin in Clint's home office now. Poor Cobra. I hate that my first intrusive thought was "why doesn't Clint put the glasses on the urn?", god damn it! I hope the family are doing alright. I think Clint is gonna knock it out of the park with the memorial stream. He's going to make us laugh, and he's going to make us cry.
 
It's a shame cobes hasn't been more intrigued with his own mortality. He could've made himself a custom casket or something. That would have been goth as fuck

Some people choose to have their ashes spread together. Clint might have instructions for the two of them to be scattered somewhere special to the two of them. He doesn't have to decide immediately.

Grief, especially from sudden and unexpected loss, changes people. Most likely he just wants his son safe and to have him close.
 
The city needs to do something. Like a bench at the cemetery with his name on it. Would be nice to have a place to visit to commemorate him.

Edit: Maybe run into some of-age goth fangirls there as well.
