    I cancelled plans once with the excuse that I had to take care of my grandmother.

    I wiped her urn off with an anti bacterial wipe, and played videogames.

    If any of my relatives ever read this, you have my full permission to do whatever stupid shit with my ashes you want, the stupider the better. Or if you want to dunk on or generally make a joke out of my passing, that’s encouraged too. It would be a nice send-off.

    When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, “Doc in a box.”

    I have a close friend who’s dad very suddenly passed away within the past 2 months and was cremated. I shared this with them on chat. They laughed. I’m still alive…for now.

        I don’t think Lemmy is ban happy like reddit. I’ve got into it w/ a lot of people here and nothing has been deleted nor have I gotten a warning/suspension.

        I’m sure there is a line (threats of personal hart/calls to violence) but those are areas 98% of the world never goes.

    At the funeral home for my FiL talking about urns. We ask about the little ones they have. While doing their little pitch, the funeral director says that “they hold a spoonful of the- the-“ and one of my FiL’s children finishes “spoon full of dad”.

    And now I can’t think about cremation without thinking about “spoon full of dad”.
