RIP

2017 - Dessau, Germany

City of Dessau, located in Saxony Anhalt - Germany is rated as second with the most senior citizens.

Although burial is still popular, over the last few decades Germans increasingly have been opting for cremation. In urban areas more than half elect to have their loved ones cremated, partly because it is cheaper than burial, but also because of preference. For Germany overall, about 50 percent now choose cremation. In eastern Germany (the former GDR) the rate of cremation is now over 80 percent.

I have been formulating glaze out of bones and ashes in order to produce valuable pieces from our loved ones after they have passed away.
