We don’t have family heirlooms in my family, but I’ve always liked the idea. A sentimental or valuable trinket from the past, serving as a continual reminder of those who have gone before us. Perhaps great aunt Effie’s cameo necklace, great grandfather’s pocket watch or pipe, mawmaw’s snuff can (sometimes it’s the little things), a mummified baby you keep on the bureau. Oh, how I wish I were kidding!
And I thought burial or cremation were my only options!
