Gilbert's Ashes

[ILoveGilbertTheGuineaPig]

I picked up Gilbert's ashes today They were in a nice wooden box. I put it on my desk, and placed a picture of him on top.

I also put this on my desk.

And this on my wall

So he's basically everywhere in my room My dad said that putting his ashes near the window isn't good (my desk is next to the window). Is that true? I really like the spot the box is in right now, but if that's true, I'll move it. RIP Gilbert <3

I think you've got your room looking really nice with Gilbert all around you.

I haven't head that about it not being good to have the ashes near the window - did your Dad explain why? I can't think that it would make any difference where you have them, and I like the way you've put his picture on top of the little casket like that.

Thanks! He said that it needs to be in an area without direct sunlight so it stays dry and cool.

You know - when I had my little Rufus cremated I paid £25 and was told I wouldn't get any ashes back because he was a small animal and there wouldn't be enough.

Bit mad about that!

I can't see your pix on my work computer but I am sure they look lovely xx

 

[ILoveGilbertTheGuineaPig]

Aw =[ I would've been really mad myself! I guess they didn't provide that service =[ Gilbert's cremation was $118, pretty pricey but very worth it

I paid a lot to get Fudge cremated and returned, but she came back in a beautiful little wooden box, with a personalised engraved name tag and a certificate to say that she was definitely in there. She sits in my bedroom on my dresser so I can see her every day.

That is the most wonderful tribute, Gilbert was clearly very very well loved and I know he will never be forgotten xx
