Be careful if you get a mysterious package in the mail. Here's why:
In 1990, the Wilkinsons, a family in Sussex, England received what they thought was a gift package of herbs from Australian relatives. They stirred the contents into a traditional Christmas pudding, ate half of it, and put the remainder in the refrigerator.
Soon after, they heard from their Aunt Sheila that Uncle Eric had died. She wanted to know if they had received his ashes for burial in Britain.
The Wilkinsons quickly summoned their priest to bless and bury Uncle Eric’s leftovers. (The Wall Street Journal, 12/18/90)
