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.

Once the big jar is empty, you could use it to make spooky good kimchi.

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.

I’m sorry for your loss, but I thought this was a “yo mamma so fat they had to put her in two urns” joke before reading your comment

First ghost should have a chunk missing out of it

Damn, I wish I had thought of that. That’s brilliant.

Jamma's ghost is too powerful to be contained in a single vessel

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.

I think Jamma got a giggle out of that. 👻
