What do you do with ashes of dead people?

[Guy Incognito]

The Unitarians bury an urn under a tree. But if that's the one true faith, I'll eat my hat.

I like the idea of planting a new tree and putting the ashes in the hole. The tree should be around for several generations so the people who knew the person can enjoy visiting it. By the time it dies, no one will be around that remembers the person and it won't be taking up space like a marble headstone

My cats ashes sit in an urn in my living room.

Human ashes get dealt with according to the wishes of the deceased. Weird your stepdad wanted to spend eternity in a closet.

Maybe he didn't want to come out of the closet?

Convince people that they’re some famous person’s ashes and sell them on eBay.

Wait a gall darn second! As a frequenter of your Ebay store I demand to know if those ashes were really Robert Stack!!

Have I mentioned that one of my hobbies is cutting firewood?

No, you need to do your homework. You can't dump them in a water source or in most public places because it's considered a health hazard. But it's not the kind of thing they post on a sign right next to "keep off the grass."

What if you are using the ashes for "bait"?

As co-executor of your will. What do you want me to do with you?

Just what the will stipulates: one quarter of my ashes scattered over Everest, one quarter over Machu Pichu, one quarter in the antarctic, one eighth at the Great Wall of China, and the other eighth not cremated but carried in a Yeti cooler to be left for the desert critters of the American Southwest

Sprinkle on popcorn.

Fuck the HOA. Just do it anyway.

If they find out, lie. They aren’t the cops.

I really thought this was a fetish thread when I clicked it

Are you allowed to just dump them legally?

Mostly. It’s just bulk organic carbon, like stuff from cleaning out your charcoal grill. Sometimes people do weird stuff like dispos of them on Disneyland rides, but public spaces would be okay.

my mom still has a box of my dad's. He wanted them to be spread on the lake but my mom hasn't done it yet...so it is going to be my responsibility to spread them when she passes.

I also carry a small film container of my dad's in my golf bag to spread whenever I play or visit an iconic golf course.

My mom got remarried and the dude died like 8 years ago. Dude is in a box in my mom’s closet. When she dies and if his real kids don’t want him. What do I do with him.

Toilet is an option

Put him in with your mom. If she is buried in a casket then place him in that. If she is cremated then you can put him in the vault with her.

surprised no one posted the gif from The Big Lebowski...what is this site coming to?

Robs idea of mixing it with kitty litter sounds the most practical/useful.

This thread really makes you wonder the best way to go after you die to not be a burden. So many laws and shit and expenses. Thousands of dollars to be buried in a hole with a rock on it. Can’t dump ashes in a water source. Can’t dump a body next to a highway for the birds to pick at.


Death is the last joke in life.

that's deep.

who's the joke on though? The person who died or the person left with the responsibility of taking care of the body?
