Cremated remains (or cremains, the funeral industry no longer uses the therm “ashes”) are small chips of bone some nearly as large as a small fingernail. Some crematories will further grind up the cremains so they are appox 1/8” size pieces of bone.
The Hollywood movies you see with someone dumping cremains off a cliff and they blow back all over the people, are false and are done for comedy.
It would not be pleasant attempting to eat food with cremains sprinkled on them. It might be tough on your teeth.
Put momma through a flour sifter....the woman needs counseling or psychiatric care....she could be delusional (duh...really?)
Sad nonetheless
True story:
There is a castle in Scotland with my last name affixed to it. We went there for a big family reunion. The guy who lives in the castle has my last name but that may be the only link. He has some type of title, like Baron or Duke.
We took Cousin Alda’s ashes and attempted to sprinkle them on the rose garden there. We did not ask the owner of the castle. We thought we’d do it on the sly. we separated from the main group and my aunt brought out the ashes, and dumped them.
Well, it was gusty that day and several of us got Cousin Alda in our eyes and mouth.
Of course it was sad, but to see my Down Syndrome nephew yelling “I got Alda in my mouth!” was pretty funny.
Then everyone knew, and we have not been invited back.
