Mortified woman accidentally 'washes' her nan's ashes - and questions her cat
A woman had the shock of a lifetime after accidentally putting her grandmother's ashes in the washing machine.
Briley Coates, 30, kept her nan's ashes at home. But, one day when she was getting on with some cleaning, she was unloading her freshly cleaned clothes and was stunned to discover a small black bag had been muddled up in the machine.
That very bag contained her grandma's ashes. "I pulled my washing out when I saw the ashes at the bottom of the machine and started laughing, but I was also massively confused as to how she got in there - she was meant to be in a drawer upstairs," said the Norfolk beauty salon owner.
Before Briley had a chance to put the washing on, she suspects that her two-year-old half Norwegian Forest cat, named Menace, had managed to get into the upstairs draw where the ashes were stored.
The woman believes that her cat had been playing with the bag before eventually dropping it in a pile of laundry. Then she must have scooped up while putting a load on, not noticing the bag in the pile.

He really is a menace; I've just found him running around with her in his mouth.
"I instantly laughed, and I wasn't in any type of mood anymore. My Nan always said she would always be around, and I do believe in things like that.
"My mom absolutely loved it; she instantly said that it's my Nan playing tricks on me."
