Do you think it is OK to keep the cremated ashes of your spouse if that was his or her wish?

It is okay. Although people have traditionally kept the ashes of their beloved in an urn, another method of keeping them which is currently in favor is to plant the ashes under a favorite tree or bush. Any trace elements which have remained in the ashes of your dear one can then be absorbed as needed by the plant and so, in effect, you are giving back to nature what nature helped to build. It is a nice way to remember him/her.

Cant part with dead husbands ashes?
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are going through a normal grieving process and there is nothing wrong with keeping your husband's ashes close to you if it brings you some peace. You can keep his ashes with the request in your Will that you have your husband's ashes buried with you or, if you have chosen to be cremated then have both sets of ashes taken to the favorite place of your husbands and you and have the ashes scattered (many people do this.) In time the hurt will go away, but of course your husband will always be in your heart. Remind yourself of what he would think if you just sat about forever and didn't dust yourself off eventually and start living.

Items not destroyed through the cremation process (artificial hips, gold teeth) are then extracted. Some crematoria recycle precious metals and donate the proceeds to charity. Others keep the profits.
