Anywho, I now heard from most cousins and we're down to 4 possible dates, but I still need to hear from 4 people (including the one causing the kerfuffle) and my ex aunt. The older sister of the problem cousin also send a message and kinda apologized for her sister. She's also the only one realizing that it'll be hard to find a date everyone is able to be there.
I've decided that I'd rather stick an arm in a wasp's nest than do this again. Every time I hear my email or Facebook ping on my phone/tablet/laptop I get stressed. It isn't even 9pm yet and I'm feeling completely drained.

You said ashes. Here is what you can do. Tell the family you are scattering the ashes on September 1. That will give them plenty of time to make arrangements.
Now what my grandmother did was wait until her brother-in-law got back to the states, had him come pick her up. She and him took my granddad's ashes to be buried. She called me, then my aunt and my mom. She said Ralph is here, as soon as I get off the phone we are going to bury granddad. No you can't come. The shocking part was the two daughters were stunned. They did not even know she had gotten his ashes back. I knew but only because I was the one that answered the door when they were mailed back.
