Thread: Cremation urn that looks like the departed

Tweet

Hey haunters! So I found this site that shows how you can order an urn for your departed, that looks like them! As one person put it: "Well, that's setting new standards in 'tasteless' - a copy of your loved one's disembodied head to put above the fireplace like a trophy...". LMAO!! $2600 and it's yours. Enjoy! Cremation urns that look like the dear departed - Boing Boing

This may be one of the funniest inventions of our age.
I personally think they'd be able to avoid the "screw top" look to the forehead for the price, however.
Of all those comments, my favorite is:

$2600?! Heck, I could immortalize your loved one's head for the price of a hacksaw and a pickle jar.

Hmmm...I may have to start working on my own vessel, in preparation for my eventual demise - maybe make a series of them with different expressions, so multiple people could have my remains, with the expression of their choice.

Oh!! How about something like the singing busts of the Haunted Mansion?
Make your own featureless bust, and get a video recording of yourself before you die...set up a projector, with the bust holding your ashes, and people can remember you in action!!
Multiple busts and recordings, and you can do your own version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" for all eternity...or until they cut the power.

And I was thinking of getting a parrot to shout "Stop, think" at my kids for when i'm no longer around to do it! Now they can have the animated version of mommie dearest, shouting pearls of wisdom at them. It would be in the trash the same day
