When artist Justin Crowe’s grandfather passed away, he decided he needed to honour the memories he had with him in a new way.

The ceramicist started a project, in which he took the bones of 200 people, ground them up and made a dinnerwear set called Nourish.

Inspired by the venture, Justin began making custom orders for people who wished to infuse the memory of their loved ones into an everyday object.

His business, called Chronical Cremations, permeates the ashes of the deceased into "memorial objects" including jewellery, coffee mugs and candle holders.

Justin aims to help people continue to share in the experience of life with their loved ones after they have passed away.

As one customer said to Justin: "I can hardly wait to have coffee with my sister every morning. I miss her beyond words." 

To avail of Justin's unique service, all you have to do is choose your memorial object, ship off a specific amount of your loved one's ashes, and allow Chronical Creations to get to work.

The ashes are collected, ground into a fine powder, and added to a glaze mixture including clay and other materials, or mixed in with the clay itself.

While this memorial method is definitely unconventional, it is undoubtedly comforting to those who wish to remember the deceased in the warmth of a cup of tea or a vase of flowers, rather than more traditional methods.

Fidel Castro has died aged 90, his brother confirmed in the early hours of Saturday. 

A former president of Cuba and the leader of the Communist revolution, he ruled his nation as a one-party state for half a century.

"The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22.29 hours this evening [3.29am Irish-time Saturday]," President Raul Castro said, the BBC reports.

Raul took over from Fidel's 50-year long rule in 2008 and is his younger brother by five years.

Although in recent years his health and age meant he had all but retired from public life, in April Fidel gave a rare speech on the final day of the country's Communist Party congress.

His supporters say he gave Cuba back to its people, and there will now be several days of mourning on the Caribbean island. 

Still, the Wall Street Journal today highlighted that while Castro "animated millions with his promises of justice and progress," he also "presided over an oppressive state".

Born in August 1926 in the south-eastern province of Oriente, Castro survived many assassination plots and was the longest serving non-royal leader of the 20th century.

A nine-year-old girl has become an Internet sensation after a video of her performing Adele’s Hello in a bid to connect with her late father went viral.

After her mother asked her why she was repeatedly singing the song in her bedroom, Sadiella Shroyer explained that it was her way of apologising to her dad “from the other side”.

In a heart-breaking Instagram post Ami Shroyer wrote:  “This song became popular about the time we lost Mike.  She would sing it over and over in her room, and I asked her one time why she liked this song so much.”

“Her response: ‘I think Daddy can hear me from the other side, and I'm sorry for everything I ever did that was wrong.’”

Ami – who is herself a singer-songwriter – revealed the emotions her daughter’s words evoked in her.

“Broke. My. Heart,” she wrote.  “Still… she loves this song, even if the rest of the world is tired of it…I really really love this girl!”

According to Babble, Sadiella’s dad died in December 2015 after an unexplained obstruction eventually caused him to go into cardiac arrest.

Months later, her grandfather, Ami’s father, died from a brain haemorrhage.

Ami told the site that her family have dealt with those tragedies through a combination of faith and music.

A man has been arrested in connection with the death of American sprinter Tyson Gay’s daughter, Trinity, who was shot in Kentucky in the early hours of this morning.

The 15-year-old was fatally wounded in a restaurant car park in Lexington when two cars of men opened fire on each other at around 4am local time.

Police say Trinity – who was a promising track star – was not a passenger in either of the vehicles, both of which fled the scene after the incident.

She is believed to have been an innocent by-stander who got caught in the crossfire.

Shortly before she was killed, Trinity managed to Tweet about the shooting when she wrote: “Of course they start shootin (sic)”.

Her Olympian father – who is the second fastest man to run 100 metres in history – confirmed her death to CNN.

He said: “She didn’t make it.  I’m so confused.  She was just here last week for fall break.  It’s so crazy.  I have no idea what happened.”

Trinity’s mother, Shoshana Boyd, told the Daily News that her daughter wanted to become “the fastest woman in the world” and to be a surgeon.

She said: “She was so innocent, she was so innocent.”

“I just want people to stop shooting and realise who they’re hurting. It’s just random. They don’t understand, they don’t understand who they’re hurting.”

Social media is already flooded with tributes to the teen.

In light of her death, people are once again calling for better gun control laws in the US.
