It was a nice urn sitting on the mantle shelf, but it held a secret. A naughty secret.

Carol had always been sure of Jonathan. He’d been dependable, loyal and loving... she knew for certain he loved her forever... he’d never, ever even been with another woman.

Jonathan’s funeral was OK, but to Carol it seemed like the crematorium had ‘processed’ him - all a bit rushed... the next people waiting impatiently outside. Her Jonathan deserved better.

Little did she know that thanks to a slipshod furnace man, safe in his urn, Jonathan would share bodily solids with Cynthia Edwards forever.

    The thought came when me and my younger bro were talking lightheartedly last week about what to do with ashes and mentioning that she’d been speaking to Steve’s wife, who now has his ashes on the mantlepiece with his hat on top. He’d like that!

    In my reply above, by ‘she’d’, I meant my lovely wife of course (in case she reads this!).
