Son turns his dead dad into a teapot

"John Lowndes has no problem stirring up happy memories of his dad after putting his ashes in an urn with a difference.

He found that when Ian died 10 years ago aged 75, one of the things he missed most was their tradition of putting the world to rights over a nice cuppa.

So he brewed up the idea of giving him leaf eternal by having his ashes mixed with clay to make a teapot.

John, 54, said: "Those cups of tea with dad were special and when he died I really missed them."

For as long as I can remember, my mom has wanted her ashes taken to a potter to have them made into a bowl so that she could continue to be useful. From what I understand about ash in pottery, we'd be able to make dinner service for 24 with what she would leave behind.

Ancient people had funerary urns. Is a teapot all that different?
