Unfortunately, Ukmase, the flask is made of glass and, I think it could be steel - it certainly went rusty anyway - but the point is, it won't burn, so no prospect of an ashes scatterring service anywhere. I could bury it at sea, I suppose. It could make an ideal home for a small fish, or maybe even a loving couple of crustaceans.
Cosy.
But no, its going to Willington tip.
The new flask seems to work very well....
By the way, I've had enough of scatterring ashes for a while (have another look at the blog!)
