They used to give children their appendices to take home after their operation. I still have my children’s baby teeth. When this was discussed on Mumsnet some parents just threw them away, which shocked me.
It’s up to others what they do, but yuck, not for me. Nor would I want to make a jewellery piece from the ashes of a member of the family, however loved they were when alive.
I did this when breastfeeding mine and then gave them their pieces for their 18th birthday special gift
I think this would have finished mine off, certainly my sons!!!
and mine
Seriously, I don't care what others do though.
Fanny, I wanted to take one of my dogs ashes on holiday with me but my husband said NO! Did you know people use ashes to have tattoos done? I am not sure how it works. I think it's mainly peoples ashes
When my husband was 16, he had his nose broken. Years later, looking through memorabilia with my MIL, there was the old plaster of Paris he’d had on his nose, complete with all the old caked on blood!? my MIL asked if my husband wanted it?. Suffice to say it went straight in the bin.
