Ashes

[Canary42]

Advert currently showing on my Answerbank page is for cremation ash jewellery (e.g. a locket containing such ashes.)

This seems a bit macabre to me.

Would you buy one ?

[Buenchico]

No.

My will states "I desire that my body be cremated without ceremony and that my ashes be disposed of, also without ceremony, in any convenient refuse receptacle". So I'm certainly not going to cart someone else's ashes around with me!

[Mamyalynne]

Personally I wouldn't, my plot is bought and I'm going in the ground.

I don't think it's any more macabre than jewellery containing the hair of the deceased.

huh, I got an ad appearing to show schoolgirls in their underwear. When I clicked on them they were actually figurines of Japanese schoolgirls in their underwear, being sold on eBay. I've had to sign up to an ad-blocker, which I'd been diligently not doing; but I'm not having AB put that sort of stuff on my screen.

Keith Richards once snorted his father's ashes with cocaine. Or so he said.

You could always have your ashes flushed down the toilet as in the film recommended on here the other day :-D

The Will of the lady concerned was very similar to yours (you didn't write the screenplay did you?)

I don't want a gravestone or placque. I want a tree.

[sanmac]

Would that be an ash tree?

[rowanwitch]

Susan. He will be frozen in this weather . !

[Vagus]

Personally no, but I can fully understand why some would.

[MargoTester]

I want to be made into a rocket and fired into the night sky.

And when I die don't bury me at all,
Just pickle my bones in alcohol.

I wouldn’t want to carry my mum’s ashes around in a locket. I dislike even holding her urn - surprisingly heavy, despite her being a very small woman.

My dad wants his ashes mixed with my mum’s and made into a brick when he goes. I’m not sure what I’m meant to do with the brick afterwards. Use as a doorstop?

[woofgang]

no I wouldn't buy anything like that.....for people who do want something I think the glass items that have ash mixed into the glass are a much more attractive option.

put it on a chain and hang it round your neck, Cloverjo?

[ummmm]

You can even use them to make into rings. It's not cheap though.
