The crematorium has just been in contact.

Apparently I should have picked up my Dads ashes ages ago, I had assumed they had been scattered as per my request.

They offered to scatter them in their grounds.

Without me in attendance: Free

Me attending: ยฃ74

Oh, but they did write to me the day after the funeral to offer to sell me a bench seat in their grounds for ยฃ400

Awfully kind of them ๐Ÿ™„

Imagine charging people money to empty a bag of ashes on the ground, but only if they watch ๐Ÿ˜‚

Schrodinger's spreading ๐Ÿคฃ

I see what you did there ๐Ÿ˜‚

makes you wonder where they're gonna scatter them if you're not in attendance! ๐Ÿšฎ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Yeh, in the trash ๐Ÿ˜‚

100%

Will they let you take the ashes and not spread them in the crem?

Yes, they expected me to.

I have no emotional connection to my fatherโ€™s ashes.

My father lives in my mind.

Yes, I never really understood the holding on of carbon remains of loved ones. Your memories of them are what matter most.

I thought the thievery ended with estate tax. Apparently not. Now you have to pay "remains redistribution observation" tax too. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks ๐Ÿซ‚
