Mom passed in July. We’re spreading the majority of her ashes in a couple spots that she requested (large urn) and keeping a small portion as a memento for the family (small urn). But both are getting festive for Halloween.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a wonderful memento. After my dad passed last year, we had some of his ashes incorporated into hand-blown glass. So my dad is now a glow in the dark glass ghost (his bday was halloween, so it's not completely random), and it makes me smile every time I look at it.
I hope your mom enjoys her festivities!! <3

Knowing my loved ones would do something like this would make me so happy. I want to be remembered with a goofy joke, just like I lived.

My grandmother died on October 11. Her funeral is on October 30, Inurnment on the 31st.
My cousin was asking if we're going with a Halloween theme. I figured we could make it a masquerade themed funeral at least.

Seems like it would be a good punchline for your mama joke . Lol
“ your mom is so fat she needed two urns “
I put a comment that explained that. But it might’ve gotten lost in the mix. We are spreading the majority of her ashes in a few places that she requested. And then keeping a small little portion.

I keep getting exotic cruise adverts in the mail for my dad who's passed away.
I just put them next to his handmade wooden box he made. HeS in that box. It's surrounded BY HIS JUNK MAIL FOR CRUISES.

We did an around-the-house scavenger hunt over zoom for a Friendsgiving over COVID, and for "most expired item" I chose my wife's grandmother's urn. She would have absolutely loved it though.
