Was Ivana Trump Cremated?

I don't like to speak of the dead, but I am very confused on something. I heard Ivanna was cremated but yet there was a coffin, and the burial site shows Ivanna's resting place looks like a coffin was placed in the ground. Was there a change of plans?

She was inside a gold casket at the funeral. Was that just for show? Did the orange mass look at that very expensive casket and see dollar signs? Seriously

opted for a coffin anyway. Maybe it give a feel of real death. Who knows.

When my mother died in 2013, she was cremated and put in an urn. My father died in 1990 and had a coffin. They were buried in the same space. Some attendees thought that was odd. Whatever…..

Always have critics!

My husband’s urn was on the bookcase a few years. Could I have gotten a tax break? Ashes scattered now.

It makes me wonder if Trump used this as a way of hiding something maybe bury money if find his bank account frozen. I know I am horrible, but I don't put anything pass the Trumps.

some even put the ashes in a full-sized coffin, often with gifts or letters or prized possessions.

think that when the Rapture happens they will not get to leave if they are just ashes. So I think Trump was told not to talk about cremation because his followers will not follow.

9. I doubt Ivana's ashes are inside that coffin. The coffin and grave plot are for tax

a claim made in a statement from her lying-ass kids shortly after her death. She was a skier with at least one discounted claim of select team membership.

Accounts differ as to Ivana's history in competitive skiing.[9] It was reported that she was selected as an alternate on the Czechoslovak ski team during the 1972 Winter Olympics, specializing in downhill and slalom.[10][6] However, in 1989, Petr Pomezný, Secretary General of the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee, denied the claim and stated that despite searching extensively, no record could be found of her involvement.[7]

14. I read she was cremated! That casket is probably filled with incriminating classified documents!

This whole Ivana burial situation seems very bizarre to me. And whenever something seems bizarre, there is usually a reason.

16. I went online to see if I could find anything and there was one headline

that said she was cremated at NYC Catholic church. I don't think the church actually cremates people but that her funeral was held there. The story went on to talk about her funeral and her coffin etc, I think maybe the person who wrote the story or the headline does not seem to know what cremated means.
