Dead Head

We can create a custom urn in the image of your loved one, favorite celebrity or hero!

Personal Urns are built from just one or two photographs of the cherished person’s face. This is the most heartwarming and special memorial product available anywhere.

Isn’t this a great idea? Now you can have the disembodied head of your recently deceased loved one, stuffed with its own remains like some kind of turducken of the damned.

Not into your husband’s head? How about the head of “your hero?” Just bring in a couple of snaps of say, Barack Obama, and before you know it, your beloved will be resting comfortably in his hollowed out skull. Talk about Obamacare!

Sports more your thing? Who could resist the sloe-eyed gaze of Derek Jeter, watching you thoughtfully from the bookcase, with your loved one on his mind?

Or if the whole thing isn’t weird enough for you, get one of your own head, and turn it into a bong.

    It’s bad enough to just feel like my late grandmother is watching me have sex from the afterlife. Now I have to have her simulated eyes on me?

    I’m buying this if it comes with an optional wagging finger.

        WhimsicleFucker — I had forgotten the Rev’s funeral parlor connections. I’m not entirely pleased you’ve reminded me.

        The creepy things that must be done with dead human bodies to ensure they don’t look or smell dead for the funeral are really, well, creepy. I don’t think the people who have to plug a dead guy’s ass get paid nearly enough for their troubles.

      In all seriousness, the three of us and his girlfriend all got matching necklaces that you put some ashes in and superglue it shut. I haven’t taken my necklace off except to shower, but wearing it all the time does kind of leave me with a sense of permanent remembrance, for good or bad.

            Alright, I agree it was a bit too much. When looking for a disturbing image this is the first one I found, and I suspect I’m far more immune to shock than most people. I mean, this isn’t even a “gory” photo, it’s “real”. It’s very hard to find an image of MJ not touched-up with his wig and prosthetics and make-up, and it is sobering (to me) to see him as he was: much more human than the image he tried to project.

            But his tragic life and eccentricities were pretty fucking funny, too.

                I have to fess up: I am totally pro-child-abuse.

                I mean, if I didn’t like child abuse so much, there’s no way I would find purchasing the bones of The Elephant Man or owning a chimp named Bubbles or having bizarre sleepovers with neighborhood children even slightly funny.

Surely I can’t be the only one who finds this oddly random.

    Before my younger brother died, he went to several glass artisans in the Seattle area to arrange having his ashes stirred into a batch of glass, which would then be made into earrings, necklaces, and other baubles. He had told each of them he was dying of AIDS, and these were to be his ashes they’d be working with. One lady asked if he had any ashes she could experiment with. He told her no, he was using all of his parts at the moment, and didn’t have any extra to pre-cremate.

      I’ll bet she was so pissed off–how could he expect an artiste to do any preliminary work if he refused to pre-cremate himself. How unthoughtful of him.

        I am also curious if he was able to do this.

        A couple reasons:
        One, I’m hoping he was able to accomplish what he wanted.

        Two, do those who have ended up with jewelry made from his ashes wear the pieces very often? I can see a couple of sides to this, but I wonder just how strange it would be to wear Mom or Grandpa to work or on a date.
