Ashes discovered in Emmaus Gloucestershire donation.
Emmaus Communities are used to unusual donations, but Companions and staff at Emmaus Gloucestershire were taken by surprise when they sorted through a furniture donation and discovered a sealed casket with the words "In loving memory. Imogen" on the side.
Neil Booker, Business Manager at Emmaus Gloucestershire, said, "We'd like to find the owner of the casket. We're worried that somebody might have given us the ashes by mistake when they donated some other furniture. We'll be keeping them safe in our office."

Emmaus Communities offer homeless people a home, work and the chance to regain self-respect in a supportive environment. Residents work full time on the Community business, renovating and re-selling donated furniture.
