Do you know what happen with the ashes?
Last Sunday we went to Surabaya to throw my Oma's ashes on the sea. It was 12 of us, with a Navy's boat. It was ebb time, so the boats were low. And we had to pass 3 boats to go to the one that we're going with. My Opa was with us and someone carry him on his back - quite scary. After that he recalled the experience as 'first time in my life' and smiling - quite an experience.
The ashes was put in a ceramic vase, and wrapped in a red cloth. The vase was then brought down with a robe. Then the vase was moved here and there, up and down, so that the ashes melted in the water. After that it was released. And that's all.
