Ashes to ashes

You may recall reading the story on DoomBuggies.com of the family that stealthily dumped the cremated ashes of a small boy in the Haunted Mansion ride on Dec. 14, 2002 - but according to a recent Miceage column, the dumping of cremated human ashes is becoming more and more common throughout Disneyland Park.

The Los Angeles Times even picked up on the story this morning. Disneyland, however, denies the reports of an increase in ashes being spread.

Incidentally, back in December of 2002, radio host Phil Hendrie discussed the boy's ashes being spread in the Haunted Mansion, and ended up recommending Tom Sawyer's Island doubling as a funeral pyre. Pretty funny.

RIP.
