I wanted to get a view on the topic of ashes- in Sikhism are we allowed to keep a small part of ashes for a keepsake in a small urn or for jewellery whilst scattering the rest in a river? I am asking for a friend who is struggling with the loss of her daughter she doesn’t want to do anything that goes against our faith or isn’t the right thing for her daughters journey in afterlife but at the same time is struggling with the ashes ceremony and wishing to keep some ashes. Please forgive no offence intended by this question.
