A New Zealand man’s ashes stored in a heart pendant disappeared — and were found weeks later in the cottage cheese aisle of a local supermarket.

Chelsea Campbell’s 8-year-old daughter was wearing the bejeweled pink heart necklace containing the remains of her “Grandad Jim” while shopping with her mom at the Tauranga Countdown supermarket in Fraser Cove two weeks ago, the New Zealand Herald reported.

But after picking up groceries, the mom and daughter realized a clasp in the necklace’s chain had broken — and that the charm holding Campbell’s dad was lost.

A frantic search and appeals on social media followed, until Campbell finally accepted that “he was gone” a few days ago, she said.

“It was like being in the process of grieving again,” she said.

But on Sunday, a worker in the supermarket’s chilled section named Maree Walker messaged Campbell on Facebook and said she found the pendant sitting among tubs of cottage cheese.

Campbell rushed to the supermarket, where the charm was waiting for her — and said her daughter clutched the precious cargo all the way home.

“He would be cracking up at this,” Campbell said of her dad, who died in March 2016 of bowel cancer. “He liked playing tricks on people.”

After her father’s death, Campbell, her sister and her stepmother all had identical pendants made to hold Jim’s ashes.

She said she plans to have the chain fixed and strengthened and to only bring it out for special occasions.

“It’s just a relief,” she said. “I’m just at peace now. I’m just so happy.”
