TikToker sparks backlash after buying stranger\u2019s ashes on Facebook marketplace TikTok: lovee.miss.laurenA TikToker is facing backlash for buying a stranger\u2019s ashes after the deceased\u2019s son put up a marketplace listing on Facebook. Grief can manifest in many ways and losing a family member is likely to bring up a lot of intense emotion, from sadness to shock to anger. If cremation is the path chosen, deciding what to do with the ashes can be a chance to say goodbye and find some closure. But what about getting an extra dollar? That is exactly what one man decided to do after his mom passed away, selling 2oz vials of her ashes on Facebook marketplace for $30 each, an extra $5 for backstory \u2014 and one TikToker was eager to purchase. Lauren, a mortician who goes by \u2018lovee.miss.lauren\u2019 online, posted a video on TikTok stitching another creator who had discovered the bizarre listing on Facebook. \u201cWhere\u2019s the listing? Send me the listing. I want to buy and I want to pay the extra $5 for the back drama story too,\u201d Lauren said. \u201cWho sells their mama\u2019s ashes on Facebook marketplace?\u201d And Lauren did in fact purchase the ashes, posting a follow-up TikTok to share with viewers the unboxing. But while selling ashes may be legal according to Lauren, many found her choice to engage with the listing to be \u201cunethical\u201d and cross \u201cprofessional boundaries\u201d. \u201cOkay, this is f***** up. I used to work in the funeral industry and this is so unethical, and she knows that,\u201d one person wrote on Reddit. \u201cThe only way this would be appropriate is if she bought them so no one else could and gave them an appropriate resting place.\u201d Another said, \u201cThis is sickening and disrespectful as f***.\u201d And to add to the controversy, the seller of the ashes even made a Facebook page for those who purchased from him called, \u2018I Know It Might Be Wrong But I Bought Some Of Chris\u2019s Mom\u2018. It is unknown whether or not Lauren is a part of the group. Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
