Ashes to Ashes...

...dust to center field ? I'm watching the Yankees-Mariners, and a fan came out onto the field and dumped what appears to be cremains onto the turf before being dragged off by security.
I was thinking, if this had happened three years ago, he'd've been shot before the powder hit the ground.
Looks like we're getting over the anthrax scare.

Is that really what they're called?
Cremains?!

No, I still think they are called ashes, but it is a cute play on words.

Yes. They are called cremains. I am a fourth generation embalmer/funeral director. Since you bring it up I will share this with you. Not too long ago we had a funeral service for a gay person and after the service the minister comes over to me and says, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Fred had stuck with women he'd still be with us. No Joke.

I stand corrected.

At the very least, I hope they carry some value as fertilizer.

I am a little surprised they made such a big deal about that. Seems like this has happened before.
