I was surfing and ran across this little gem…

How would you like to have grandpa’s head filled with ashes and placed on the mantle?

Yes, of course I want to stuff the plastic head of a favorite hero with the charred fragments of my dead family member.

The only improvement I can think of is if they can freeze dry the actual head of my loved one, hollow it out, and let me put the ashes in there.

That’s what I thought it was before I read the link :eek:

Although the reality isn’t much better. Those heads are creepy.

Same here.

Now I’m confused about why one of the display models seems to be Obama…

Oop, now I see this is a 4 year old zombie.

Oddly appropriate, that, though.

How can you let a loved one die without considering [this bad boy.](http://www.cremationsolutions.com/c2/The-Loved-One-Launcher-Ash-Scattering-Canon-p1391.html) I’m going to request confetti and streamers.

I love the large packs of Co2 charges so you can shoot as many as 15 sets of ashes into the air. Great for both spree and serial killers!
