    Symbolically it represents the ‘spirit’ of the person who donated the bone dust, there’s a reason most people don’t use their grandmothers urn as a spitoon even though you totally could. It seems like these kinds of people who take these post could give a little more respect and significance to the last remains of a loved one by not making a cringe selfie with them.

      Yes, that right there is the importance that You put on a container of bone dust of dubious origin. No one else is required to share your opinion.

      You have no idea what their relationship was like, and you have no right to judge how another person handles the death of someone close to them.

          Having certain beliefs with regards to the sanctity of remains should not be conflated with basic human decency.

            Better tell Geneva, misusing human remains is still a war crime and outside of war it’s still illegal in most of the world.
