Where to Put the Ashes.....Seriously

 Fireman gave me this locket for Easter.
I wanted to put Huck's hair in it.
Better than his ashes right?
Which begs the question..
What to do with Radar's ashes -

Huck's ashes are not going anywhere. That boy is going with me when I go. 
Radar was mostly Zach's cat. 

A co-worker suggested putting the ashes in a plant.
This is an awesome idea as Zach loves horticulture.
I need a plant that grows very slowly and will last forever.
Any ideas?  I was thinking rubber tree plant... 
 OH and since it's a knit blog, and life goes on, here is twin babies hat number one.  
And, finally, I love tulips because they come alive 
year after year 
spring after spring
and 
life goes on


(aside:  Anyone ever use PRogressive for insurance?)

Life does go on my friend, I think the locket is gorgeous and a nice place to keep a piece of your babies hair.
hugs to you Kathy,

I thought about that too. When my dogs go I was thinking about making a concrete garden marker with their ashes.

Lovely locket! I'll be interested to find out what you finally decide to put in it. Hmmmm....I like the plant idea for precious ashes.

I bought some tulips for my table for Easter...they are a beautiful flower. Your bouquet is lovely!!

Yes, I use Progressive Insurance for my ATV's. It's affordable, and I have no complaints.

How about a Christmas cactus, for the ashes, Kathy...
I'm very impressed with your knitting skills; the hat is a treasure!

Those tulips make me so happy. I need to buy some. It is too early for mine to be blooming.
As for ashes.....hmmmm. I have an almost 18 year old doggie and I need to start thinking along those lines myself. I used to bury the pets in the yard but the pet cemetery is full. I need a new plan.

Well, you know we do burials here. I won't ever sell this house - God willing - because the boys are here, and the girls will join them when they go too.

But collars. I have the boys' collars, and could take those with me when I go...

My green thumb turned black, so I can't help.

I use progressive! Their customer service is great but make sure you TRIPLE check their advice. They got me in a lot of trouble about my insurance... the rep had no idea about insurance laws in other states. It sucked.

My first tip is to put the ashes in a bonzai plant, or maybe a jade plant. They grow slow but can get really big!

The locket is so pretty! I like the idea of putting a lock of Al's and Zach's hair in it.

Spring would be a perfect time to plant a new little tree with Radar's ashes. When birds sit in it and sing you can imagine Radar watching them from the window.

Cheyenne the Weim's ashes are in a pretty box with her picture on it. It's on a shelf right by the door and makes me smile and remember every time I go in or out! Thanks for the read and the comment!

Lovely tuplis! And that yarn looks great as a hat. The cable suits it perfectly.
