I wasn't expecting a gift bag

The Prodigal Son picked up Goblin's ashes today. Her ashes are sealed in a black ceramic cat which came in a lovely purple gift bag from the crematorium. I'm . . . I don't know . . . that purple gift bag just kind of . . . weird. That's all I can say. Weird.

  1. Is the cat grinning???

    I personally wouldn't put it in a gift bag but I probably wouldn't put it in a ceramic cat either.

    What are ya gonna do with it?

    I have a cold in my noze!!

  2. No, the cat isn't grinning. That's just the way the light is reflecting off it.

    I wasn't expecting a gift bag or a ceramic cat. I think I was expecting a small box or jar that I could put in the ground when I got the stone I ordered. It's actually kind of creepy having that cat sitting on my bookcase.

  3. afWell then bury the ceramic cat.

    Mom came in a plastic bag inside a little black box. We buried box and all.

    Technically the black box was in a brown box because they were going to ship her UPS. That was before we had the private mailbox so I went up to SA to get her since at the time our UPS center couldn't find my house with a road map tattooed on the drivers hand.

    It was the only time I was kinda hoping to get stopped by DPS - would have been worth the look on their faces when I tried to explain that one. HEHEHE

  4. The bag is a little...weird. But I think the urn is cool. I would think that the burial of the ashes may be a bit easier in a kitty-shaped urn.

    Thanks again for posting the link to the pet memorial stone site. My sister is going to order one for Duke.

  5. I bought a stone for Annie when she died two years ago from the same place I ordered Goblin's stone from. Goblin's should be here in about 4-5 weeks.
