Hand Made: Rocco’s Ashes—Ambrosia Maple Urn Jeffrey A. Greenberg, MD My daughter returned home after spending an afternoon at her best friend’s house. Their dog had died a few weeks earlier, and the family had the dog cremated. My daughter loved going over to her friend’s house and playing with their dog. When she came home, she said, “Rocco’s ashes are just sitting on top of the mantle in a plain plastic bag. He deserves better.” In response, I turned this urn for Rocco’s ashes from ambrosia maple. The lid is cherry, inlaid with turquoise. Rocco’s ashes now have a better resting place.
