We got Jake's ashes back, and put them in a lovely urn that my father made (potter). It just about broke my heart. I had thought it would give me some "closure" to have them, but it really doesn't, it just seems so sad.

I had always thought that I would keep his ashes (which I have for my other dog and 2 cats), now I am wondering if maybe I should scatter them in the ocean (which he so loved). I kindof get the feeling that he should be set free, but I"m not getting any really strong "messages" one way or the other, and if I do, I can't go back obviously.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
