A Dutch shipping company has apologised for a “very unfortunate accident” after three funeral urns filled with human ashes washed up on beaches in the Netherlands, sparking fevered speculation about how they got there.
RTL News said the urns, found over the past five days by a schoolboy, a fisherman and a woman respectively on Katwijk and Noordwijk beaches north of The Hague, all came from the same German crematorium.
