When you think you’ve seen everything on facebook

I have no words. Not sure whether its a spoof in bad taste or if they get him out the attic once a year

It’s precisely for this reason I stopped doing face aches many many years ago

I have other **** that annoys the crap out of me

 

[Migmac]

I hope it’s somebody trying to be funny. Not that I find it funny

 

[bourbon]

TBH. If it's a true story. I think that whatever gives people comfort in the passing of a loved one, is of no concern of anyone else.

They don’t have to post it on FB though, there’s something odd about doing that.

It's what's called 'social life' now, don't go to the pub, don't meet friends, don't do welding forums, just do it all via Farcebook.

Very Sad

For many social sites are the only way people gather and talk now...I don't but i don't knock others for doing it. I also don't knock people finding comfort in sitting around the ashes of a parent or loved one if they want or need to at poignant times . Really guys everybody needs to think of others needs before the bashing starts across the whole spectrum of society these days and just let people live the way they want...discuss,comment yes, but not judge. <<<<<please note the none ranting smiley

My uncles wishes was to be cremated and be returned home from London where he spent most of his life to where he was born. Half his ashes were buried with his mum, the rest to be scattered where he was born.
After the committal his family took everyone to a local hotel for a meal. My Uncle Hugh, in his plastic urn had his own place at the head of the table, watching over everyone. It was a bit creepy at first but when we got used to it it was quite moving. My Uncle also had a great sense of humor & I'm sure he was looking down at us having a good laugh!

When my dad died earlier this year there was a bit of a family squabble over who would have his ashes, where they would be kept, where they may be scattered, etc. Once egos were flexed, opinions voiced, bitterness exchanged, his ashes were still sat in the funeral directors, and still are 8 months later, to my knowledge.

Me, I don't care, I felt nothing when he died, I don't care where his ashes go.

I was told by someone who worked at a crematorium that during busy periods they burn more than one coffin at a time so the ashes you get may not be your loved one at all!

Another Uncle had his ashes buried at a graveyard just for cremated remains. There are no grave stones, instead they plant a tree & put a small brass plaque at the base of it with his details on it. Quite appropriate given that he was a first class joiner!

When a gliding club member died and his family wanted nothing to do with the " disposal" we decided to scatter his ashes from the tug plane over the airfield. We didn't recon with the slipstream blowing the ashes back into the plane . The two doing the disposal were chewing bits for days and we never got it all out of the plane.

That's everything from Facebook marketplace

We had a nasty time when Dad passed.One family member made a fuss and did not want the other family members to have Dad. We relented, .Next thing We knew They wanted to have a last look at Dad and spilled Him out in the trunk of Their car.

There are quite a few factors to consider. For the sensitive/ snowflakes, stop reading now…
I used to make the stainless steel trays that the crematorium used for infants. I also used to make the rakes used on the stubborn recently deceased. The rakes looked more like a shepherds crook with a sharpened end. They used to move predominantly bits of bone that got stuck in the grating. Most of the time, depending on water content ,there is pretty much nothing left.

I actually had quite a lot of negative response to me making the infant trays. No, I am no sick weirdo. It was a service. I refused payment for them. My thinking was if I lost my little one, I would want him taken care of with the right equipment, and if his last mode of transport was to be a stainless steel tray, I wanted it to be the best it could be…

I think you’ll find that’s illegal. Not only that, the ovens are only big enough for one adult sized coffin.

I was working in an electrical switch room at a well known local football club and noticed lots of urns on the shelves in there, I asked one of the maintenance guys what was going on and he told that they were from people that wanted to be scattered on the pitch. They were left in the switch room because they weren't allowed to scatter them due to possible risk from radiation from cancer treatments!
I didn't think that was a very nice thing to do!

Told the wife I want to be mixed with grit salt and scattered on the paths outside so I can do something useful once I'm gone.

People get very weird about death and what comes after (physically and spiritually). As long as it's not causing anyone else harm or distress then it's one of those things where the best approach is to mind your own business and leave them to deal with it however they see fit.
