This may not be true, but perhaps is telling for needing to confirm: between root family and in-laws (home where his remains were received) we (this younger brother and his middle-born sister) are the only ones unbaptized. Our maternal grandparents, though never in childhood memory having observed them attend services or speak of faith, were buried by the Lutheran church. And observation of elder brother’s journey being raised UU/unchurched followed by intense Christian plus leadership phase before becoming Jewish suggests (though unsure) he was baptized as a young adult. Non-observing in-laws and stepson were baptized as infants. Possible exception is sister-in-law by marriage who was raised UU. All of which comes to mind heading toward weekend with intention to transfer younger brother’s remains from temporary container to a ceramic one made by a potter from Arizona in Oribe technique and ash glaze.
