Widow uses dead husband's ashes for painting

Quote

The oil painting depicts a photo taken on the couple's final holiday last June, and is the view from their apartment in Menorca, Spain.
Just two weeks after their trip, Mr Filkins became ill and spent the next six weeks at Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital.
After his death Mrs Filkins, of Bradley, read an article on Sunderland artist Val Thompson, who specialises in incorporating ashes into her paintings, and decided to post some of her husband's ashes to her.

On A&E there is a tatoo program every wednesday night. A couple weeks ago one person getting a portrait of his ex-wife done on his chest, the professional tattooer had never done it before, but suggested to put some of his ex-wife ashes mixed in with the black ink for the tattoo.

Aw... :(

The world woud be a thousand times better place if your silly cults didnt exist.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 673558

The Bible says you must believe the Bible, the Qu'ran says you must believe the Qu'ran, the book of mormon says you must believe the book of mormon, the Pali Canon says you must believe the Pali Canon, the Sruti says you must believe the Sruti, the Avesta says you must believe the Avesta, the Book of Enoch says you must believe the Book of Enoch.
There can be only one of them that is true. Why should yours be the one? If there was one of them that had the complete, undeniable, verifiable truth, the others wouldn't exist anymore.
