I would be curious as to the pricing on these, vrs. the cost of a "unit" from the funeral home. Those are mighty expensive boxes they sell. What are the regulations on urns? I don't believe you can just use a Prego spaghetti jar if you want? But.. who knows? The blown glass urn was amazing.

While it is creepy and different, if it makes for more options and choices, it is okay with me. Free market pricing is always good for the consumer.

Trying to pick out a casket for someone, right after losing them is not the way to go. You are too emotional and feel like you need to overbuy to respect the dead. Preplanning is the best option, but who wants to really do that?

Do you know that if you preplan, your costs are set at the time you make the arrangements? The funeral home invests your money into an annuity/CD-ish kind of fund and there will never be additional cost to the family. This includes flowers, caskets, urns, plots, crypts, you name it.

I attended a funeral a number of years ago, and the casket was in a Green Bay Packers theme. It was green with a yellow top and yellow lining. The Packers logo adorned the lining. I didn't even know the guy was a Packer fan. To me, it appeared a little gaudy.

KK, that is an interesting question about the legality of a urn.

When my mother past away, she wasn’t back from the smokehouse yet when we had the service for her so the funeral home just put an empty urn up. When she came back she was in a cardboard box almost like a cigar box.

I know it’s against the law to spread them in a lake or river, but you can bury them in you backyard if you like. Too much thinking for my brain cell.
