TW- abortion

I know this isn’t the right place to write this but I’m posting here for traffic.
i am booked in for a surgical abortion tomorrow morning. I don’t know what to do with the “remains”
I think it’s heartless to have it disposed of in the hospital…I quite like the idea of burying it at home with a tree or rose bush to mark it. I am 9 weeks (not my choice to leave it this long, due to my medical issues I wasn’t allowed to get a pill through bpas and it delayed the process)
My husband thinks it will cause emotional trauma for me to do this, and I’ll be unable to move on if I do.
Advice please?

@Dillane
i never thought I’d be in this position… but with my health I know I couldn’t manage if I carried on with the pregnancy. I do feel guilty about it.

Do you want an abortion OP?

I was allowed to take the remains home after my miscarriage.

I don’t like the thought of cremation as it’s not a part of my religion.

We own the house, nurse said it’s allowed.

Cremate and scatter?

Are you allowed to bury in your own garden? I thought it had to be professionally aranged at a cemetery if it wasn't done via the hospital cremating.
