Yeah... (http://www.cremationsolutions.com/Personal-Urns-c109.html)

I mean, what dinner can't be made more awkward by a loved one's dead visage staring at you while you eat?
Or mantle, or dresser, or anything, really.

Uh, no.  I'd want some gaudy, baroque, antiqued silver thing anyways.

Even if it wasn't an urn, but just a statue of your dead uncle Biff, it would be creepy.

Here Lies Old
Uncle Biff
He Fell Down
Now He's Stiff





I miss tombstone rhymes in games.

"Awkward by Design"  Get 2 designers to design and remodel 2 rooms in a home to make their rooms as awkward and unpleasant without being vulgar (host arbitrates). Afterwords there is an open house.  The guests vote and we get to see their reactions.

Ok but what if it was your wife, the urn was made of cyberskin on the outside and had an anatomically correct mouth.....that vibrated? That wouldnt be creepy right?  :grin:

Sure, you just described my first wife.

I think I'll wait until I get home before I click that link.  Anyway, replace "wife" with current popular porn star, then you betcha.  Surely there is a market for anatomically correct blow job giving porn star heads.

Buy urn of self, use it to serve raspberry ripple ice-cream in.

The price tag on those things is ridiculous for the quality.  I imagine you could pay an actual sculptor (or even a student) to do a much better job for cheaper.

Or just get a death mask done.  :why_so_serious:

I read ripple as nipple and then pictured a life-size replica of myself dispensing raspberry ice cream out of it's nipples.

Interesting cultural shift, here.  Traditionally, many societies has used funeral masks, moulds of the dead person's face, and even funerary sculpture (often complete with painted skin and make-up.  Jeremy Bentham even attended University College London court proceedings over a century after his death, having instructed executors to have his body preserved (the head is kept seperately, due to typically hilarious student pranks) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jeremy_Bentham_Auto-Icon.jpg

I think it's awesome.  I would take the top off and grow house plants in it.

I would be more interested in one made out of the person's actual head.  Or if I was rich, maybe I would stipulate that my inheritor must have my preserved head (containing my ashes) on the mantle looking down on them wherever they eat.  Or in the bedroom.  For maximum creepiness.
