Ashes Urn with Deceased's Face Found Next to Funeral Hall Trash Can

This hot topic is about an ashes urn found next to a trash can.

It is a story about how someone left an ashes urn next to a smoking room trash can at a funeral hall.

Was it abandoned? Let us take a look at the story spreading online.

A columbarium urn wrapped in a white cloth is placed next to a trash can inside a funeral hall smoking room.

This is a photo recently posted on social media by a poster who introduced themselves as a funeral director.

The poster speculated that it was abandoned by the bereaved family, noting that "even the face of the deceased was engraved on it."

The next day, however, the poster learned upon arriving at work that someone had secretly discarded an empty ashes urn containing no remains.

The poster explained, "The bereaved family held a funeral for their father, and transferred their mother, who had been enshrined in a municipal columbarium, to a national cemetery columbarium designated for spouses of national merit, so the couple could be enshrined side by side."

Putting the explanations together, it turns out that an urn containing human remains was not actually discarded.

However, some opinions point out that it is still rather difficult to understand why an urn engraved with photos of one's parents was thrown away like trash.
