    That makes sense, it’s just blowing my American mind, where an urn on the mantle is extremely commonplace. My brother and I both an urn with our mother’s remains, for instance.

      Right? I’ve a friend in England who has a little urn with some of their mother’s ashes. I’m personally planning on keeping my dog’s ashes when he passes. However, apparently keeping a human is a no-no.

      Sweden has this rep of being very liberal and free, but there’s a lot going on here that’s baffling. We’ve got some of the highest drug related deaths in Europe, and every single party in parliament is for the heavy criminalisation of drug use. It’s like the one thing they’re all agreeing on. We even did some stop-and-frisk for a while!
