My grandmother is not doing that great, they have called hospice in to make her last few days comfortable. My Pops has asked me to make a double sided cremation box for them that will go to my mother's house. I'm making it of Cherry and Avodire and will have a satin lacquer finish. I have a couple of questions and need some help.
1. Do you leave the ashes in the bag they provide you and place in the box? I see ones with lids that open so my thoughts were probably to leave them in the bag and place them inside. I couldn't imagine just pouring them inside unless the box was completely sealed.
2. Do you line the bottom of the inside with felt like you would a jewelry box or is that really just a preference?
Thanks for your help guys.
