  Probably shared ashes among family members. It’s weird. We did it with my dads ashes.

    I’ve heard of making jewelry or even mixing the ashes with paint to make art. Whatever my kids wanna do with my remains when I’m gone is up to them, shoot me into space, blow me up for military research, turn me into art. Whatever, I’m gone have fun with it!

    I actually think the idea of getting “bricked” from Andor is pretty cool, though you’d need a culture around it to work. Loses its impact if you’re the only one doing it.

      Want to make a fortune? We advertise this on conservative sites and use the bricks to build the wall on the Mexican border.

  It’s a memorial urn. My mother bought a few for family that wanted something to remember her by, but her ashes aren’t in it. They’ve been scattered.

  So it’s really just sentimental clutter.

  Some people are really attached to physical representations of things. They want a grave site to visit, or an urn to have. It’s probably just a mental thing, but it seems to be really common.

    Also, “99%” of the time, you are not getting the full amount of your love ones in a simple urn. The amount of ashes a person creates is simply too much to hold. Most of it mixes and gets dump in the trash every day.
