As obvious as it seems to me now I guess I never thought about being cremated and stuffed into an urn as a way of sticking around for a while. I know people who keep their deceased relatives’ urns as display pieces on their mantelpiece or on a shelf, but this story is about remains that just kind of hang around because nobody can decide what to do with them and no instructions were given. Interesting.
