Personal Urns

[ivylass]

This just seems creepy to me (http://www.cremationsolutions.com/Personal-Urns-c109.html). I know the ancient Romans used to have masks of their ancestors, to be brought out for family funerals, but this seems...unnerving.

Maybe if the eyes were closed?

[badbadrubberpiggy]

Yeah, that's exactly how I want to remember my loved ones, with the glassy, dead-eyed stares they had in life.

Yes, those are creepy.

[Malleus, Incus, Stapes!]

:eek:!

[Attack from the 3rd dimension]

:eek:, indeed.

[Euphonious Polemic]

Wow! I'm gonna buy one!


Actually, no I'm not. Another vote for Ultra-creepy.

[Slithy Tove]

I want one, but of a much better-looking guy. After years have passed, my desendants will look forward to the eventuality of that Gregory Peck gene's reappearance.

[Freddy the Pig]

I don't need a personal urn. I'm already a churning urn of burning funk.

[runner pat]

So the Keepsake Size is a shrunken head? :D
I like how it only holds a portion of the ashes.
"Who wants a spoonful of Grandma?"

I want to know if the eyes follow you around the room. 'Cause that would be bonus creepy.

[shantih]

Can I get one where the eyes blink at random intervals? Cause that would be so cool!

I mean creepy as all hell what on earth were they thinking?


From the website:
Now we can create a custom urn in the image of your loved one or favorite celebrity or hero.

Now we're talking. What could be better than to spend eternity within the screw-top head of Sean Connery as the only true 007?

[ivylass]

Now, I could see someone MAYBE doing this with a beloved pet (I've seen shrines set up, for crying out loud) but a person?

How about one that's motion activated and will blurt out random pre-recorded sayings as someone walks by?

[Mangetout]

You mean like "Gotcha Ya!" ?

[Gleena]

AHHH! Can't sleep, dead guy will eat me.

Creepy!

[Euphonious Polemic]

You know what I'd do with an urn like that?

<Andy Samberg>
I'd throw it on the ground!
Ain't gonna give me no urn
What? do ya think I'm stupid?
Not gonna be run by The System!

Sorry - My son made me watch that clip over and over tonight.

[Argent Towers]

Fuck that - I'm going to commission a funereal effigy (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Montrose-St_Giles-20071011.jpg), just like that one of the Marquis of Montrose, with the full 17th-century armor and everything, made of alabaster. That is the best kind of tomb there is; hell, I should write it in my will NOW in case I go early.

[LawMonkey]

If only they'd had this technology in Jeremy Bentham's day...!

would it be morbid to get one and use it as a cookie jar?:D

[Count Blucher]

Look on the bright side, the dead don't mind. If they did, there would have been lots of banging & screaming coming from the crematorium.

Why am I visualizing the Ray Liotta scene from 'Hannibal'...? :eek:

[ivylass]

If a personal urn is not your thing, how about a cremation diamond (http://www.cremationsolutions.com/Cremation-Diamonds-Made-From-Ashes-c39.html)?

So instead of proposing with Grandma's wedding ring, he proposes with Grandma?:D

[OpalCat]

They're not only creepy, but at least that one is also both ugly and cheesy. Bleah!

[Strainger]

Awesome! I am so going to get one of these for my cremains. Mine's going to be a figure of my face contorted into a horrified scream.

Thanks for the link, ivylass!

So you mail them the ashes and they send you a diamond?

I bet they mix up all the ashes and just scoop some out when they get an order! :D

hm......I suppose I could find a brain sillhouette cookie cutter and frost them with grey and white frosting .... :D

[kaylasdad99]

I only want one of those if my death is caused by decapitation in an automobile accident.
