Charity shopper flummoxed after finding ornate but morbid box up for sale

A bargain hunter was shocked after finding an ornate wooden box in a charity shop as when he looked a little closer he realised it had a morbid use - and now he's confused about how it ended up for sale. TikTok user @bargainscouts shared the find with his followers on social media and soon his video went viral with over 100,000 likes.

He explained he was in a local charity shop when he found the ornate wooden box, and when he picked it up he found a stange note on the bottom. It read "Hapi Burkett, 09/06/2016", and after reading the message he realised that the box was in fact an urn, and sure enough he soon found a stranger's ashes.
