An Urn That Looks Like Your Head

Thursday July 30, 2009
Personal Urns I admit it. I sometimes try to think of ways to freak out my friends and family long after I'm gone. And the folks at Oh Gizmo! found something that fits the bill better than anything I could have come up with.

The Personal Urn is an eerie recreation of your head, with space inside for your remains. Just imagine an artist's rendering of your eyes gazing eternally on your kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and so on . . . at least until one of your descendants sells the house and leaves you in it. Because, really, who wants to bring that creepy staring head with them?

It costs $2,600, but there's a smaller version available for $600. Call it "Mini You."

Meanwhile, an alert reader at The Consumerist found a direct link to what appears to be the manufacturer, ThatsMyFace.com, who has a whole line of lifelike recreations of your head that can be used for everything from pencil holders to a head with a fake brain in it, just for laughs. These are much cheaper than the urn.
