That’s IT, I’ve GOT it. . . I put my ashes in a dildo, so I can still be getting it on from the great beyond. Hmmmm. . . but then I don’t know who or what is using my ash-filled-dildo for what kind of sexual preversion. Oh, well. . . better than nothing I guess: “the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace.” Excuse me while I pitch this idea to Hugh Hefner.

can I have a glow in the dark one, rigged to make spooky noises at night every 2-3 weeks?

I’d prefer to be used as compost for growing Ghost Orchids.

Would make one hell of an epic spice rack.

It’s one step away from my perfect urn, a pac-man ghost urn. Specifically Clyde.

Looks like a pepper grinder to me.

I like the ashes LP idea better, but it’s a close second

This is my kind of final resting place.

Along similar lines, we interred a friend’s ashes in a Susie Ketcham cookie jar. Speaking of whom, does anyone know of a website for her?

  Susie will be part of the 25 Year Anniversary Show at La Luce de Jesus gallery this fall in Hollywood!
  You can find her there.

Please don’t put me in a blue one.

I’d like to be buried sans coffin in an unmarked grave. Also like the idea of cremation and having my ashes turned into a diamond. Barring these choices, the lavender one, please.

I would make that inner test-tubey looking thing out of lucite so if the urn is broken the ashes don’t scatter everywhere with the broken shards of urn.

When I die, I would like to be scattered. Not cremated, just scattered.

I don’t think one of these would look good by itself, but hundreds of thousands of them stacked on shelves in deep underground caverns, lit by dim light, could be awesome.

I want my ashes in a ceramic Pac-Man chasing these ghosts..

This Urns just rock, never understood why someone would keep the ashes, get the real deal and buy a fridge , but if you are one of those, this one is awesome.

No coffee No concept.
