20 Creative Things to Do With Cremated Remains

[@susiesnailhaulsand50plussk97]

My girlfriends daughter passed from drug addiction at 20 years old, my son was a few years younger then her when he got mixed up with some drug use, my friend brought over a little container of her daughters ashes and gave them to him. She said do you want your mother to only have this( the ashes) left of you? Do you want that? Get you shit together and don’t let drugs do THIS to YOU! It was a highly emotional experience. He’s clean by the way.

Carnival Cruise lines does an awesome spreading of ashes on the ocean ceremony thats attended by the Officers on the ship and the family of deceased. Before you get off the ship to go home they present you with a very very nice framed document with the persons name, the date, time, and the exact Coordinates the cremains were entered into the ocean with the name of the ship and several other pieces of info. Its signed by the Captain of the ship.

[@MrsTiffanyMartinez]

My husband and I were able to take 2 of their cruises 🛳. Cabo and Ensenada. We were supposed to go to Hawaii. But ran out of time, to do a of things. He expired on November 30th 2021. I think I'm just gonna settle for the vinyl record idea, if the person doing the work isn't going to take advantage of the situation.

Hi Kari. A year after receiving my wife’s remains, we had a little gathering at the house on the anniversary of our first date. I scattered about 20% of her remains under a tree we planted years ago, and around the property. The next summer, friends and family gathered in Bar Harbor Maine, where we rented a house for a week, visited all her favorite spots, then scattered about 60% of her remains by biplane, by hand near a pod of whales, and I purchased something that you did not discuss: a special paper box with a water soluble bag inside. I placed her remains inside the bag, inserted the bag into the box, then we floated the box out towards the Atlantic. After a while, the paper box begins to disintegrate, the bag gets wet, and disintegrates, and the remains drop out. I found the box online. Comes in various colors, shapes and sizes. I kept about 20% of her remains for when I pass, but over the last 6 years, I have decided that it’s not what she wanted, so we are going back to Maine in July, and scattering the rest of her out over the Atlantic by an old biplane again. Keep up the good work Kari!

You should also know that there is a huuuge difference between human ashes and the animal ashes. The ashes of the red heifer has been used to cleanse the Temple. Human remans/ashes are disgusting and must be buried and not kept at home or anywhere above ground! And by the way, GOD doesn't really like cremation, read the Book of Amos: Judgment on Moab, Judah, and Israel Amos 2: 1 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he burned to lime the bones of Edom’s king. 2So I will send fire against Moab to consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in tumult, amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.… Human remains are unclean and unclean/occult/accursed things attract demons and give them a foothold.

How about being mixed in with the compost for making new soil for the garden, as was Pete Seeger. A friend of mine loved travelling by car, and his ashes were thrown on the sand pile at the local concrete mixing facility.

[@MsRonnyb]

Cremation Ashes Harm the Environment On their own, cremation ashes are harmful when placed in or around plants. For years people have placed cremation ashes around plants as an act of returning their loved one to nature. When cremation ashes are buried directly into the ground, they do not decompose which hurts the surrounding plant life. For cremation ashes to become beneficial to plant life, the very high pH level has to be lowered and the toxic levels of sodium must be diluted. If these two concerns are not properly addressed, the plant will become stressed or collapse. A very limited variety of plants are tolerant of the toxic level of sodium found in cremation ashes.

My husband expired on November 30th, 2021. I wasn't depressed until that day. Anyway, I'd be interested in the vinyl record...what's the info for the vinyl record? 2021 was the year for "trying new things" for The Martinez's. I bought my first vinyl record last year, long before I ever got my first record player. Then one day, I finally got my first record player. And then another Victrola. I'm a huge fan of Billie Holiday. My husband supported my positive habit of vinyl. Nearly every song she sang, I felt like she was singing/telling a story. Now that he's gone smh the words are haunting. "Easy to remember" title of the song. Lyrics, easy to remember But so hard to forget. "Gloomy Sunday"...that one tugs at my heart more often than not! Just like any of the songs on her very last album before her death, Lady In Satin. That's the album I'd like to share some of his ashes to make into a vinyl. He was my soul mate. I've never cried for anyone the way I've cried for him. The anxiety is still in my chest 31 days later. I have appt for the 17th of this month to make sure it's just anxiety vs my heart literally 💔. I know no one asked for all of this information, you only asked what did we do with the ashes. I only bought an urn. It's was unexpected. He was 48 and I'm only 45. If anyone could kindly comment with the link on where to get the vinyl made or how much. I'd appreciate it a lot. Guess we're never too young to die.

I have heard of cremation jewelry! minimemorials.com is a good example of this. I used to think it was a weird idea but after looking at all these options I don't feel so strange about it now. Thanks! Does anyone struggle with the options given?

My Mum loved the corn fields and that was her request to be scattered in a cornfield as she said she didn't want to sit on a mantle, so I did just that. Myself, when my Funeral Director goes hunting he will scatter me in the forest.

Good for you. It is not a pretty sight when a body is being cremated. Go either traditional or with a green burial if available in your area.

My daughter jokingly said we should put her sisters ashes in a hourglass and use it during game night. It was initially a joke but, I'm thinking it's a good idea so she can still be part of game night with us.

[@KaritheMortician]

You can get an urn like that but it is tricky because the cremated remains have so many chunks

[@emmib1388]

I heard a meme like that recently ! It is a great idea for those who have regular game night ! ( a little creepy though! ) Would be especially fitting for the person who is always on time (or early) and has a pet peeve regarding showing up late!

[@albertafarmer8638]

Please study the Bible and listen to real theologians like Dr. John Ankerberg and learn that ALL dead bodies are unclean, the High Priest wasn't even allowed to enter a cemetery! You should also know that there is a huuuge difference between human ashes and the animal ashes. The ashes of the red heifer has been used to cleanse the Temple. Human remans/ashes are disgusting and must be buried and not kept at home or anywhere above ground! And by the way, GOD doesn't really like cremation, read the Book of Amos: Judgment on Moab, Judah, and Israel Amos 2: 1 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he burned to lime the bones of Edom’s king. 2So I will send fire against Moab to consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in tumult, amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.… Human remains are unclean and unclean/occult/accursed things attract demons and give them a foothold. Do your own research on these things, look up the occult objects list!

One of my childhood friend committed suicide a few years back. His request was to be put into balloons and have his buddies shoot the balloons to spread his ashes.

My family and I for the most part want to be cremated. Last year when my granddaughter died she was cremated and my daughter has the box of cremains. Many of gd friends wanted a pinch of ashes so I designed something of polymer clay and resin. My daughter gave 25 of these to gd friends. I have now made 5 that I carry with me every day. Also made my daughter 5-6 that she will carry or wear. I want to help others that would like something similar for other people. Of all the many people I have told about my idea, only 1 said she couldn't do it.

This is very informative. However if you're Orthodox or even Roman Catholic or orthodox jew, just a about a decade ago, cremation was only for pagans. In Leviticus, tattoos of the deceased aren't kosher. Putting their ashes in with the ink would probably be even worse. Today, cremation or speeding up the process of going to ashes and dust is OK. However the cremains must be placed in a collumbarium in a blessed cemetery or buried at the cemetery. The sad thing about some of these suggestions is there is no grave to pray at as the years go by. If you're a celebrity, cremation might be a good thing because as our immoral Frankenscience progresses, they won't be able to clone you in the future. Some celebrities don't even get to rest in peace from their fans and future fans. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWqcYmmwbdycia8

[@johnpalomo6671]

Orthodox Christians still can't cremate unless they live in Japan.

[@ghosty426]

@@johnpalomo6671 Thank you. I think the Orthodox have the right idea. As you know, the RC Church was severely compromised.

Very good point and glad you brought it up.

[@ghosty426]

@@jrw5831 Thanks. I guess more and more Americans are disenchanted with the concept of the resurrection or at least the human body being something sacred. I mean, I wouldn't think of doing half of these things in the video with my little Chihuahua's ashes. Putting little Challupa-puss in a Cinco de Mayo firework would never enter my mind...let alone a human being.

[@jrw5831]

You put this very nicely and I couldn't agree more. I think of how sad it will be come resurrection day when there is no body to rise up from the grave. By the way, we have ashes that some family have never picked up. People have lost all respect for mankind...........................
