When my Dad passed away, my oldest sister took charge of the Memorial and arrangements. This resulted in the four of us adult children getting an Urn with his ashes inside.

I could not figure how to say it, back then, but as much as I loved my Dad (and still do) I didn’t want any container holding his ashes. But I know that during weddings/funerals and new babies, people can be extremely sensitive and easy to get hurt feelings when no harm was intended.

So I kept my mouth shut, took custody of the Urn and placed it in back of my front closet.
I have moved from that address since then, but never again, did I touch that Urn.

You left your dad’s urn at your old address?
