FENTON, Mich. — State police in Michigan are trying to find who left what appear to be a grandmother's cremated remains in an urn at a Goodwill store near Flint.
Fenton Goodwill store manager Allen Ryckman says "it's got to be the No. 1 or No. 2 weirdest item" the store has ever received. He says it appears to have come from a house that was cleaned out.

If it’s #2... what’s #1?
“That’s not ‘herb tea’, that’s Herb
Probably don’t want to know.
I guess they felt someone might need a grandma. It is amazing what you can buy at Goodwill, old clothes, old books, old toys and now old grandma.
They sure have everything, don’t they? ;-)
Sad story. Probably a precious memory for her children or grandchildren who either died or were foreclosed on due to “Hope & Change”.
Not sure why they are looking for him. She’s dead, right?
And they probably don’t have any way of finding the children or grandchildren who donated it by accident...
NAH,
PROBABLY LIBS....don’t need those elderly cluttering up our lives.
Instead...Put a picture of gandma on the mantel.
Something creepy in general about keeping someone’s ashes sitting around IMHO...
I agree. Bury the person and keep pictures instead, not ashes.
here’s one for the ages- which i’m often reminded about....
my wife tends to leave things lying around...i tend to throw things out...
a couple of years ago i notice a plastic bag of clothes in the garage....they sit in the garage for a week or so...i fail to remember it was me who took the clothes out of the back of my wife’s car and left them in the garage when we were taking a trip to NYC to see the Christmas Spectacular at RCMH (needed the room)...
anyway- i was making my annual run to drop stuff off at the Salvation Army...i look at the bag of clothes that’s been sitting in the garage for more than a week and figure they are clothes for donation so i put them in my car and drop them off with a bunch of other stuff at SA...
the VERY NEXT DAY my wife says, “where’s the bag of clothes that was in the garage?” i ask “why??”, the response?? “those were my good clothes i need to drop off at the dry cleaners”....
i called the SA where i dropped the clothes off and they said the truck just left with everything for the main processing plant....i drove to the main processing plant and there were stacks and stacks and stacks of clothes...
needless to say its a story that’s been told over and over...
Liberal responds:
Bu, bu, but, it was an earth-friendly way for grannie to go...
Oh, I'm sure you catch hell at every family get-together..:=)
I bet your wife sure was mad!
Yup.
HA.
