He/She hanging in the living room
Today I attended an art exhibit sponsored by McAlister-Smith Funeral Homes as part of the Piccolo Spoleto now underway in Charleston. Two artists from the New Orleans area have incorporated into art work (paintings primarily) small amounts of cremains. These commemoratives have been commissioned to honor parents, loved ones and even to plan one's own future. A financial planner from New Orleans loaned the exhibit a piece he designed to which his ashes will be added someday. I kind of wonder about this. It is a way to honor and remember loved ones who have died, but do we really want Dad and or Mom hanging around the living room forever?
