This isn't far from the truth! When Pop died, in Florida, it was decided to cremate him and scatter his ashes in the Mississippi river that he loved. (An avid boater) Mom got sold a 'specially created urn that would dissolve in water" for the low, low price of $300!
In other words, that unfired clay pot that I could have picked up over here for, maybe, a whole $1US was worth 30,000% more in a funeral home.

Expat, It's standard procedure for Buddhists to put cremains in water that flows into the sea. That's what I want done with at least some of mine. I told my Mom she can have some for the Family plot since it seems important to her. That can would work for me if the plastic top were replaced with a sheet of paper and a rubber band. Oh, and change the lettering on the can to read rust in peace! :lol: :coolsmile:

You do realize that funerals are for the living?
We still have Mom sitting on the mantle here at home after three years. I'm meaning to wait until Dad passes on and then take them both on a trip to their childhood homes, the towns where they reached adulthood, met, married and then on to the graves of their parents. That should make for a good month of travel where I spread a little of them in each place.

Better use a decaf can!

Tain't big enough for the intended purpose. Nonetheless, I think my late wife would have loved this. We just used the generic cardboard tube provided by the crematorium to take her cremains to her favorite place. That waterfall was the only part of the process that was of any importance to her.

Sounds like the correct prop for "The Bucket List".

This could start a trend in urns.
The coffee can for office workers
Beer can for redknecks
Shoebox for the "Imelda Marcos' type
Wine or brandy bottle for drinkers
Cigarette carton for smokers
Doggie bag for pet lovers
H.... OK, OK, quit hitting me, I'll stop now! 😊

Litter box for cat lovers, you know that's really what kitty wanted to do to us in the first place. :lol:
