This Could Be Rotterdam Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sorry. I forgot to mention the next bit of the conversation. I asked if that is what her mom wanted and she said, 'no, she wanted to be split between me and my brothers and then spread in our gardens so she was with each of us. But they never asked, and this way she gets to see some sights so everyone is a winner.' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Sorry if this is insensitive, fortunately I haven't lost a loved one and had to go through this, but I really don't think I'll be interesting in having anybody ashes. Unless they specifically requested I did something with them I think I'd just put them in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have both my parents ashes under a pile of stuff that needs clearing out of the house. I don't think anyone was sure what to do with them. I was surprised when we noticed there's an envelope glued to them with a stern letter saying you can't just scatter them anywhere and you need permission to do do. I must have missed the section in every movie with a death ever where they went through the bureaucratic side of chucking Gran's cindered remains off a cliff.

mjmooney Posted February 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2017 From the number of people who've told me they'd (surreptitiously) done it, the Holte End penalty area must be composed almost entirely of human ashes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 6, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2017 We buried my Dad's ashes in Ireland. He wouldn't have cared what we did with them, and he's not Irish. But Mom is and she likes the idea of being buried with him eventually in her home town. We kept a bit back to scatter somewhere if we want, but no idea where that would be!

HanoiVillan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ashes usually end up being a drama in my experience. My family can't decide what to do with my grandma. Think they're currently sat on my aunt's mantlepiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they want to get down from there and decide what to do with your grandma's ashes. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I scattered my grandfather's ashes in the lake district. Off the top of skafell pike. That's the only only time I'm climbing that **** though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 My Grandparents ashes were buried (I think) at Perry Barr crematorium. The family does have a burial plot at Witton cemetery, but I don't think its been used in about 50 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't Pongo Waring's ashes scattered in the goal of the Holte End? I like the idea of being scattered on the steps of the Holte, but in all honesty I don't really care. Chances are I'll just end up being scattered at the memorial garden, next to the crem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 On the subject of ashes, we haven't done anything with my grandads ashes yet, but it's nearly a year now since he died. I think we've now decided on the anniversary we're going to scatter them at Brandwood end, where my Dad was buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
