I don't do ashes or burials - as for hoarding ashes!!!
After my F-in-law died, for some forgotten reason we had his ashes in a wooden box with a brass plaque on it. M-in-law was in a home and we didn't know quite what to do with the casket.
My Mum came to stay while we went on holidays and, during her dusting, she found this box.
She took great delight in telling me that "Its the first time I've slept with a man in the bedroom since your Father died.".
Next Chapter...........after M-in-law died we took both their ashes to St Ives, where they used to live, to scatter them on the headland. As Sis-in-law opened the box, a strong gust came in off the sea and covered her in ash. She spent the rest of the day picking her parents off her clothing!
I thought it was hilarious but she wasn't amused.
