Some people can't even die in peace. Puckett's children and his fiancee are squabbling over who gets his ashes. I wonder if she would take a cash settlement in lieu of a share of the ashes?

His fiancee or his children....

That's a bit of a no-brainer.

This reminds me of what happened with legendary boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. As the man generally regarded as the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in history was getting older and deteriorating due to Alzheimer's, his wife at the time had cut him off entirely from not only his children, but from everyone in general. His children had to fight, unsuccessfully, to even say goodbye.
