A temple where you can keep your remains

I'm worried about temples that take care of children's remains. If I write in detail here, temples and people will be identified, so please refrain.
My parents are still doing well, but when they died, I think of it as a permanent memorial service at the temple where my ancestors buried their remains along with their children.
It's still hard to leave the child's remains, but I couldn't find a way to move forward, and I began to think that I would like to deposit the remains at a nearby temple I can trust.
I have met a couple at the temple several times since my child passed away. It may be rude, but I don't think they've been trained, and I'm distrustful because they only talk about my own family rather than the attitude of listening to people's stories, and I'm distrustful because they call temples a business. The reason I feel that I haven't been trained is probably because after 100 days, I went to the Shikoku pilgrimage and heard many useful stories from my ancestors.
Of the 3 hour stay, I was finally able to go back to stories like the above for 2 and a half hours, about the remains of the child, and about the first anniversary, and I was able to go home.
They probably recite sutras in the morning and evening at any temple, and even if it's a temple in a town where the doors are always closed, I thought it would be better for children than a house where I wasn't there during the day, so I went to consult with them.
They also have elementary school children, and the story is that it costs money, 2 luxury cars. Maybe I'm jealous; my income is low, but if I'm presented with a fixed amount of money, I'm going to give a donation.
If you were to take care of it, is this really OK at this temple? I think it's safe for children to be close to home. Please tell me if this temple is OK.

Please take good care of your feelings.

I understand that you are feeling very bad after losing your son.
It's late, but I pray for your son's soul. Gassho ceremony

I understand Mofu-sama's parents' feelings, but first of all, please take care of your own feelings.
Do they really need an ossuary now, or maybe they don't want to stay at home together until the 3rd anniversary (or longer) and feel close to them,
Please check it out for yourself once again.

On top of that, it might be a good idea to imagine what kind of temple you can trust. Even if you don't know the inside story of the temple, it might be a good idea to go around various things as if you were taking a walk with your son, such as the atmosphere of the temple grounds, the feeling of being the chief priest, etc.

There may also be a denomination at your parents' house, so I think it's okay to look it up thinking that the contents of some denomination teachings or the like will also be a memorial service for your son, and choose a memorial service and ossuary that you are satisfied with by Mr. Mofu.
I think it's okay to wait a while for that.
It would be nice to be able to feel that two people can walk with their children.
Please refer to it.

P.S. Thank you very much for your thank you message.
I read the profile postscript. I don't know where the connection is. But please keep in mind that you will give top priority to calm and comfort yourself.
If you cherish the feeling of kindness and warmth, I think your children will be happy too. Please take care of your own body, too. Regret

Trust is believing and relying.

I've read your question.

The death of a child
I would like to express my sincere condolences.

When I read your question, I think
Make your own conclusions
It's been put out, isn't it?

I can't deposit it here.

It's close and convenient, so
There was a lot of hesitation,
If you want me to push your back,
I felt it.

Trust is believing and relying.
More than I can't believe
The remains of a precious child
If you shouldn't deposit it,
I think so.

Please read your question
I'm still sorting out my feelings
It's not on.
Not being able to accept the facts
What are you having trouble with
I can guess.

If you're a fool,
To your feelings,
snuggle up,
If you listen attentively to the story,
I think so.

By spitting out your feelings,
There are times when you can be saved.

Will it be enshrined at your home
Please look for others.

For the time being, at your home
I speak out every day.
On the day of the death of the moon
Offer something of your choice
What is a memorial service
I think that's fine.

From a child's point of view,
I'm heartbroken every day
Watching parents
It's painful.

Come on, smile,
Please walk facing forward.

For kids,
I wonder if it's the best memorial service
I think so.

I wish you all the best.

First, there's Moff himself.

I pray for your child's peace of mind.

Other monks have already answered, but in conclusion, what do you do when Mofu, the mother, leaves it at a temple she doesn't like?

Even if you leave your child at such a temple, the most important thing is that Mofu-san and your child just feel sad. And it doesn't matter if it's near or far.

There are many religious denominations, so I won't ask any questions here, but first of all, I feel safe and at ease even if the mother, Moff herself is the chief priest. Isn't that an option? I think so.
A memorial service means that the person making the memorial service will be satisfied. That thought can be conveyed. It's all a world of mind, mind, and consciousness.

If you can't get rid of your distrust, go to another temple.

or
Even if you leave it at home
I think it's good.

From a temple like that
Even at home when you're away during the day
I think a house with my mom would be better.
