What to do with the ashes?

I know it's not really funny but!!
I think it may have been the Bella magazine!!

think it was 3 sisters, they had their mums ashes (well some of them) put inside 3 lockets that the sisters wore round their necks!
they were having a meal all together at one of the sisters homes,
the host had made mashed potato and what ever else they had I don't know...but partway through the meal..one of the sisters remarked about the "black pepper" on the mash as she was eating, the host said that she hadn't used any "black pepper"!!! it was then that the other sister realised that her lockets seal had some how become "unsealed" and that the "black pepper" was in fact her mums ashes that had leaked out of the locket!!! honestly! I havn't made it up..it was a featured story!!!! Im sure it was Bella mag..but can't quite rem and it was some years ago.

NfkDumpling the ashes are in a sort of blue spiral shape in the middle of a clear glass paperweight,theres not a lot of the ashes but it does make a nice ornament...you wouldn't know what they were inside the paperweight unless someone told you. it is very tastefull done.

My darling Dad had sailed the world as a Merchant Seaman, so when he died I packed his ashes into a box with rosebuds and family memorabielia, and sent him sailing once again on the sea currents around the world.
I often think of him, every day in fact, and hope his spirit is happy and free, enjoying the tropical storms and the icy arctic blasts.

I hope someone will be kind to me too, and set my spirit free on a sweet mountain meadow, with Heidi and Uncle Peter laughing nearby, or on a warm tropical island with R L Stevenson as my generous host.
As you can see, I have not come to terms with my own death yet, but hope to, soon.

That's it Bikergran - Sounds perfect - they can be divided into 3 - one for each DC!

Just told DH - he just looked skyward. (He seems to be that a lot)

I'm glad Mishap that you've made the decision and that it's a lovely spot that you can visit when you need to feel close.

It was so much easier for me with mum and dad as they always made it clear they wanted to be buried together at their church.

Aurelia I think those who manage to come to terms with their own deaths are fortunate indeed. I hope if you succeed you won't need to put it to the tests for a very long time.
