My father-in-law's funeral was yesterday. His ashes were buried in the church gardens. They had to be in a biodegradable container, which was a simple cardboard box. I made a cloth cover with Irish Chain blocks and embroidered my Irish father-in-law's name on the top.
I did not photograph it--I liked that it served its outward appearance for the day, and now is in the ground, returning to the earth with the ashes.
Lynn,
