      I am so sorry for your loss. Bear in mind that the biology of your child was just her envelope. She, as a soul, can never die. Bodily death is a transfer of energy, the dropping of a costume for the soul to go explore new realms, first in the beyond, and then in new tangible form if the soul chooses so. I send you much love 💞

    As someone from Eastwood, the home to D.H. Lawrence, and a fan of Ask a Mortician this video certainly interests me! All of our pubs and public transport and many more things are named after D.H. Lawrence.
    If you every visit the small mining town Eastwood in Nottinghamshire, you can visit his place of birth and the historic sites in the area!
    Most importantly this old mining town has a Weatherspoons named ‘Lady Chatterley’ in which you can get a pint for £2!
    We are no longer a mining town, but parts of the pits do still exist and historical sites are in the area for anyone interested!

      Alternatively the ashes could have been scattered after the original owner of the urn died. My Grandmother died 5 years before my Grandfather. & he kept her ashes on the living room mantle piece untill he died.
      When he passed away he was cremated. & the family combined their ashes & then scattered them as they had wanted. But we were left with a lovely (but now sadly rather useless) ceramic urn.
      Thankfully we were put in touch with a poor family that needed an urn for their loved one. By the funeral home that had handled both my Grandparents funerals & cremations.
      So we gave the urn to the poor family to used for their loved one. It's what Nan would have wanted, she was big on helping those less fortunate & in need.
