TAMPA, Fla. - Terri Schiavo's body was cremated Saturday as disagreements continued between her husband and her parents, who were unable to have their own independent expert observe her autopsy.
The cremation was carried out according to a court order issued Tuesday establishing that Michael Schiavo had the right to make such decisions, said his lawyer, George Felos. He said plans for burying her ashes in Pennsylvania, where she grew up, had not yet been completed.
Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had wanted to bury their daughter in Pinellas County so they could visit her grave.
Terri Schiavo, 41, died Thursday after the removal of the feeding tube that had kept her alive since 1990, when she suffered brain damage that court-appointed doctors determined had placed her in a persistent vegetative state. Her parents had fought in court to keep her alive, disputing the doctors' opinions and saying there was hope of improvement.
Michael Schiavo has not spoken publicly since his wife's death, but Felos said Saturday: "He's holding up. It's very difficult for him."
Michael Schiavo is required to tell his wife's parents of any memorial services he plans for Terri Schiavo and where her ashes are interred.
The Schindlers plan to have their own memorial service Tuesday at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Gulfport.
The Schindlers had sought to have independent medical experts observe their daughter's autopsy at the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's office, but the agency refused their request, family attorneys David Gibbs III and Barbara Weller said Saturday.
The autopsy was completed Friday, the day after Terri Schiavo died, and results are not expected for several weeks.
Representatives of the medical examiner's office did not return a call seeking comment Saturday. The examiner's office has said it would conduct routine examinations and look for any evidence of what might have caused her 1990 collapse.
The Schindlers have accused Michael Schiavo of **** his wife, a charge he vehemently denies.
Over the years, the couple have sought independent investigation of their daughter's condition and what caused it. Abuse complaints to state social workers were ruled unfounded — although one investigation remains open — and the Pinellas state attorney's office did not turn up evidence of abuse in one brief **** of the case.

It's a claim...it's not true...you people have to think when it comes to claims and the press....>>>>
yeah, true...but you person also have to think when it comes to all possibilities....maybe it IS true....
i still can't understand why....
okay, i just read over the main details of Terri's case...thanks to Wikipedia's website ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Schiavo )...
and the fact that Michael Schiavo did take classes to try to help his wife initially....the fact that he declined all offers of $1 million & more than $1 million to turn guardianship over to Terri's parents.....AND the fact that he had drafted a contract declaring that he would donate whatever remainder he would receive of his inheritance from a malpractice settlement....to charity....
THOSE all reflect good intentions on his part....
HOWEVER....
THIS ONE PART....is what i was looking for....because i remember my mom mentioning it....
"Michael Schiavo has been criticized by the Schindlers and their supporters for entering into a romantic relationship with another woman, Jodi Centonze, while still legally married to Mrs. Schiavo. Mr. Schiavo and Centonze have had two children together. Mr. Schiavo denies wrongdoing in this matter, stating that he has chosen not to divorce Mrs. Schiavo and relinquish guardianship because he wanted to carry out her final wishes not to be kept alive in a persistent vegetative state."
okay, see - here's the thing....
the man has technically committed adultery....and had two children outside of his marriage in the process, even if it DID happen within the past 15 years, during Terri's state.....so really, that was grounds for divorce, if Terri were capable of making that decision....
but she wasn't....so we don't know if that is something she would have wanted to do if she could make the decision....just like no one besides her "husband" and maybe two other people knew whether or not she really wanted to be kept in the state she's been in for the past 15 years....
her parents (or other family or friends) could've easily argued that Terri once stated that she would never stay with a man who would cheat on his wife & have children with "the other woman" on top of that....
so my whole thing is this....
despite what he CLAIMS were his intentions....the man had clearly moved on in life....and Terri's parents - the people who BROUGHT HER INTO THIS WORLD.....said that they would take full responsibility of this woman....they wanted to see their daughter live....which is quite reasonable and understandable....
if Michael moved on in life....having a whole other family now....why not give up his guardianship over Terri??! what was the purpose?!?!?
that just doesn't make any sense to me....
and like my mom had mentioned 2 me, it would be different....if Terri had been kept on a respirator all of this time...like, she needed a machine to keep her heart going....but that WASN'T EVEN THE CASE!! ANYbody will STARVE to death or die of DEHYDRATION...after so much amount of time!! WTH?!
my mom also said this the desire of Terri's parents to take care of her....is just like the decision of millions of parents everywhere who decide to take full care and responsibility of the children they have who are born mentally-handicap.....or have some other sort of major "disability"....this woman could've been considered "disabled"....she didn't need to die....
and the accusations of the husband having possibly beat her....certainly doesn't make the situation any better....
