Do you have cremains in your house? Is it creepy?

Asked by laureth (27199points) August 7th, 2011

My grandpa died recently. Since he was cremated, my aunt (who is in charge of the situation) provided me with a small urn of my grandfather’s ashes.

I don’t know where to put this little trinket. I don’t have a display case for such things (“A color-coded urn rack for easy dead-relative reference! Collect them all!”), so I ended up putting the urn on my bedroom dresser. It’s weird to be naked or do anything else in there now, feeling like my kindly old grandpa is watching everything I do. (Yes, this grandpa.)

Do you have anybody’s ashes around your home? Is it ever weird or creepy, no matter how much you loved them in real life?
