<p>[QUOTE="Vesuvia, post: 2732496, member: 10906"]That is definitely cremated ashes. Possibly a pet, or a person. My auntie and my sweetheart dog both died last year and they gave my cousin a full urn with the majority of my aunt’s ashes in it, and yes, also a smaller keepsake urn with a smaller portion of ashes. The pet crematorium offered these same services for my sweetheart Nonna. $700 to cremate a 12lb chihuahua and get her ashes back. Highway robbery and exploitative, that. Because, of course, you’re going to want your sweetheart back. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know it may sound weird, but maybe you could think of those ashes as something very special, like a diamond. Pure carbon. What you have there is precious, the foundation of life, and maybe you could consider returning them to the earth or sea, if you’re nearby, to help facilitate this being’s cycle of life and death. </p><p><br /></p><p>And thank you, how beautifully macabre.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
