I mean, he was moderately active in his retirement and died after a short round of chemo and a shorter bout of pneumonia, and she had osteoporosis and died over a decade after not reeeeeally recovering walking mobility after the second hip operation, but, yeah. Very different ashes. His were gritty and heavy, and hers so light that when the family went to scatter them, most of them (ashes, not family) blew away.

I guess the crematorium might have changed machines in between, I don't really know much about the technical side.

(I don't think scattering human remains is strictly legal these days because prions, but at the time the legislation hadn't caught up, I think.)
