Really? So you canât keep the remains/an urn of their ashes? Does that also apply to things like when they make gemstones from ashes?

According to Skatteverket, a deceased must be cremated or buried within a month of death. If they get cremated, then the ashes need to be buried within a year. There can be exceptions, the page says
- Should the relatives be in disagreement about funerary arrangements
- In case a relative is unable to organise it, e.g. due to sickness
- In case a survivor is to be buried alongside
- In case the departed has donated their body, e.g. for science
No idea if you can turn loved ones into gemstones here, Iâd assume not. Iâd also assume that if youâre waiting with burying the cremated remains of someone because theyâre to be laid to rest alongside a loved one, youâre also not allowed to keep said remains at home.

That makes sense, itâs just blowing my American mind, where an urn on the mantle is extremely commonplace. My brother and I both an urn with our motherâs remains, for instance.

Right? Iâve a friend in England who has a little urn with some of their motherâs ashes. Iâm personally planning on keeping my dogâs ashes when he passes. However, apparently keeping a human is a no-no.
Sweden has this rep of being very liberal and free, but thereâs a lot going on here thatâs baffling. Weâve got some of the highest drug related deaths in Europe, and every single party in parliament is for the heavy criminalisation of drug use. Itâs like the one thing theyâre all agreeing on. We even did some stop-and-frisk for a while!

Det Àr inget ohygieniskt med aska.

Canât have shit in Sweden.

Human remains arenât allowed to be kept. Iâve no idea about human faeces.

Now I have an image of a swedish home having grandmaâs last shit in a jar on their mantelpiece because they werenât allowed to keep her ashes

What if itâs both?
Dojan@pawb.social âš2â© âšweeksâ© ago
I think combining the remains with faeces is probably illegal, because you arenât allowed to debase them.
