Ashes of the Dear Departed

<p>Remember the Murphey Brown episode where she and Frank supposedly went down in the plane crash? they came back as ghosts to their funeral and their urns were knocked over while nobody was around–the janitor swept them up…</p>

<p>I think if someone is cremated the ashes should either be scattered or stored in a memorial setting at a central place for all family members. People just grieve different ways. I hate to think one particular family member gets to keep them on their mantel so that nobody else has access to them (Hey kids! Let’s go visit grandma–she’s over at Aunt Lucy’s–wonder if she’s home? What do you mean Aunt Lucy had a garage sale? Moved? Got tired of grandma taking up space? We don’t speak to Aunt Lucy?)</p>
