    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!

      I bet the ashes thing is an old law, probably based on religion. I’d imagine they just never saw a need to change it, and too few people cared about it to ask for it to be changed
