My son passed away Aug. 01 at the age of 12. Before he died and he knew he was going to he said to me…”mama I want my ashes to be spread all over the world and for you to carry some of me in your pocket. His wish was my command. I spread his ashes at the continental divide, a thai restaurant in Malibu, an airplane, on the Hiawatha Trail, a cactus plant at a resort in Hungary, many hot springs, a Swedish man is spreading him as he rides his bike and runs marathons around the world, I placed his ashes in a hand blown clear glass heart with the world designed in the center, a beach in the Caribbean, on an acient roman road in Italy under a chestnut tree then I made a small clay image of Buddha incorporated some his ashes into it, fired and glazed it. This I carry in my pocket. Exotic enough?? Oh and there is more and will be more to come. Thanks

My sister Naomi died April 19th 2008 on her 34th birthday. She was one of the most important people in my life and it was devastating to watch her die so young. She was a dead head who loved crazy fantasy novels, funny t.v shows, plants, drinking, the outdoors, Vegas, being naughty, and last but not least road trips to Arizona. We have decided to take some of her ashes to oak creek canyon and the rest to Minnesota to be spread along with her Grandparents. My sister loved being in nature and I think it suits her well to be in her favorite places. Love you sissy bear….. miss you very much.

my mother died by her own hand during the christmas season 2007. for me it was and still in an incredibly sad and unnecessary tragedy. as was much of her life.

in the summer prior to her death, we had discussed our remains and what would we each like done with them. she stated she had, like me always wanted to be cremanted. i expressed my desire to have my ashes distributed amongst those who wished to have them and to have those loved ones sprinkle them in lovely places around our planet. a pretty meadow, a mountain top, an exotic locale where i wished to travel to. somewhere that although i never saw in life i could still expierience through someone else’s eyes. my mother thought this was a lovely idea. and expressed the same desire.

following her cremation i received a small amount of ashes from my remaining siblings and i intend to spread her remains where i feel that she might have enjoyed the sights or views of this beautiful world we call planet earth.

despite her despair in her final moments i hope to help show her that the world can be a beautiful place. perhaps it will help bring me peace.

my first deposition of her remains will be in france this spring. the exact site at this time is not yet clear. perhaps the meditteranean sea, the foot of the eiffel tower or a small vine yard. i do not know yet.

i do intend to make the small amount of ashes last me a life time. in my memorial i will ask that what remains be recremated with mine. in this way whe will always be with me. and she will see the beauty and wonder of the world that i see.

i hope i am not being selfish. i miss her terribly.

I’ve spent many years attending various Renaissance Faires throughout the state. Some people, however, possitively lived for these faires. There are several stories of ‘rennies’ having their ashes shot out of a cannon at the opening or closing of the faire.

One time my husband and I were out driving on the beach. We decided to change directions and as we were driving around a large rock on the beach, suddenly we saw people running towards us waving their arms. It seems we ran over their Uncle Charlie(his ashes)Well, needless to say we both felt so bad and apologized. But they told us not to worry about it, that Uncle Charlie had a sence of humor and would have gotten a kick out of it.

TMZ reported not too long ago that Keith Richards snorted his father’s ashes.

after my mother was cremated my daughter and I took her ashes up to Trinidad Head in northern Calif., said a little prayer and both of us threw her ashes over the side of the cliff. As we were driving away I suddenly told my daughter to stop the car, get out and don’t ask questions. She did as she was told and I got out too and ran around to her side of the car.I told her to brush herself off because Grandma was all over her pants.

We tried to separate my mother’s ashes to take some to her mother and sister in Florida to be spread, but we just couldn’t do it. For now, she sits in a box in my sister’s office.

When the time is right, we will either spread or bury her ashes at my childhood home. That’s the one place she was always trying to get back to.
