You cannot travel to Santa Cruz—so that’s out.
And you probably can’t afford a plot for him—unless, somehow, Walter left some money for you.
Maybe the best thing is either cremate and have the ashes sent to you, or have him buried in some place where people who claim remains can be buried—but who can’t afford a plot.
It’s a hard one. I wish I had better advice.
I know it would be nice if the ashes were sent to me. And I would spread the ashes around Jones Beach (a 30-minute drive from where I live). To be honest, though, my wife would find this too morbid. If I lived alone, I would accept the ashes if asked.
Don’t tell your wife..
Have them sent to a nearby po box or mail forwarding business or w/e for pick up under your name vs to your home address. When notified, go pick them up & head out for that 30min drive and quietly do your thing.

Miss down here on earth. Heaven is lucky
To have you. You are with the angels now,
Go fly my friend above the big blue sky,
Where angels are beautiful & kind.
I will miss you, my friend of mine."
this is a keeper, Kitty
I’m glad you like it. I thought of it fast, I didn’t think of what to write.

Dear Aunt Blabby,
your sincere caring for this unhappy, lonely man is an example to everyone here.
Thank you, from all of us, for showing us what friendship and loyalty is, even beyond death.
You are a genuinely good, real person and we all are touched by the depth of your compassion for his life and unfulfilled dreams.
