We’ve reached the zenith of capitalism. You can now create a custom urn in the image of your dead loved one or favourite celebrity. This person has obviously chosen Karl Pilkington as their personal hero.
Don't mean to stare.
“Personal Urns combine art and the very latest in technology to create a family heirloom that will be cherished for generations.”
Who’s not going to enjoy polishing the head of a family member on a floating shelf next to an unread copy of Atlas Shrugged and wilting Woolworths flowers. And why not do it for every deceased family member? Collect the whole set.

Here’s the site to order yours. Who’s on your list?
