When my MIL died, she was cremated, and we have her ashes (long story) If you knew my house at the time, you would not think it's weird but at one point she was on top of the refrigerator. Then our refrigerator started doing strange things, and one of the kids thought it might blow up. Oh no! Grandma!
All I could think of was her ashes being blown all over the house and we were concerned that it would be nearly impossible to distinguish from all the dust that was there.
Grandma now holds a spot on the top of our tv hutch, in a room not used that often. We have her next to Sugar's ashes. Whenever Grandma came over, she'd lie on the couch with Sugar , it just seemed fitting, putting them together
