I have heard of some rather weird things in my life but this really takes the cake. Have you ever thought about this? Have your dearest pets stuffed after they pass away? What's the good of it? They can no longer romp and play....

Fleur @Fleura (34929) • United Kingdom 14 Sep 22

The other "things" my brother brought over.

Stacey @xstitcher (39003) • Petaluma, California 8 Sep 21

Mom and Dad's boxes were on the mantel at home before my brother had to move them 'cause he was working on the house. He asked if I wanted them with me, and I said yes. I had to do a little rearranging, but there's a space for...

Finally Have a Date

Ghost Writer @Writingghost (5196) • United States 22 Jun 21

My brother had passed away quite a while ago. Every time we had planned to take up his ashes and headstone, something went wrong. There were fires, then too much snow. We are hoping that June 30th will be the day. I love his...

So back to some cricket talk. Well, English cricket team, which looked like the favorite to win the Ashes is perhaps not as strong in the test matches. England were bowled out for 294 runs. In return, Jofra Archer took 2 quick...

Burning into ashes.

Wise Ghost @WiseGhots (14603) 31 Jan 19

Are you the kind of person who likes to stir up memories because of some bad time? That kind of person who gets consumed by past mistakes or mistakes that are made against you? I think overcoming mistakes and forgiving are...

After reading a post by @xFiacre about strange funerals, it reminded me of my uncle's funeral many years ago. "John" was cremated and the family gathered at my aunt's house for a little ceremony. His daughter spoke about the...

This brought tears to my eyes

celticeagle @celticeagle (189792) • Boise, Idaho 9 Sep 15

I think this story is so great. Heard it on the news. If there is no family these guys will escort the ashes to the cemetery. I think that is so sad. If a military person dies in the line of duty and has no family what is to...
