How is flushing ashes illegal?
They're ashes of a person. Some places have laws against the desecration of human remains that would apply to ashes; flushing them down the toilet would probably count
Since when are nazi carcasses considered "human" remains?
Since always. We can call people with insane political ideologies something other than human if it makes us more comfortable but the fact of the matter is that the scummiest most vile people in history are still human, and writing them off as "well they were a monster, completely inhuman" disarms us from the very human evils that we face today.
Here in Sweden you can’t keep human ashes. It’s illegal. I’d imagine flushing them would be a problem too.
Can't have shit in Sweden.
Human remains aren't allowed to be kept. I've no idea about human faeces.
Now I have an image of a swedish home having grandma's last shit in a jar on their mantelpiece because they weren't allowed to keep her ashes
What if it's both?
I think combining the remains with faeces is probably illegal, because you aren't allowed to debase them.
I was thinking of if a person was eaten and then the faeces was the remains
You would have to be a piece of shit to deserve that
Really? So you can't keep the remains/an urn of their ashes? Does that also apply to things like when they make gemstones from ashes?
According to Skatteverket, a deceased must be cremated or buried within a month of death. If they get cremated, then the ashes need to be buried within a year. There can be exceptions, the page says
No idea if you can turn loved ones into gemstones here, I'd assume not. I'd also assume that if you're waiting with burying the cremated remains of someone because they're to be laid to rest alongside a loved one, you're also not allowed to keep said remains at home.
That makes sense, it's just blowing my American mind, where an urn on the mantle is extremely commonplace. My brother and I both an urn with our mother's remains, for instance.
Right? I've a friend in England who has a little urn with some of their mother's ashes. I'm personally planning on keeping my dog's ashes when he passes. However, apparently keeping a human is a no-no.
Sweden has this rep of being very liberal and free, but there's a lot going on here that's baffling. We've got some of the highest drug related deaths in Europe, and every single party in parliament is for the heavy criminalisation of drug use. It's like the one thing they're all agreeing on. We even did some stop-and-frisk for a while!
I bet the ashes thing is an old law, probably based on religion. I'd imagine they just never saw a need to change it, and too few people cared about it to ask for it to be changed
why? now you don't have them anymore!
jävla förmyndarsamhälle
Ingen aning. Du får ha aska från djur, men man får inte ha mormor i en urna i bokhyllan. Skulle gissa att det är en religiös kvarleva.
troligtvis hygienskäl
Det är inget ohygieniskt med aska.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
