Unquestionable Tacky. But what do you expect from the country that gave us American Idol? Not to mention the race to outdo one another in weddings which gives us Bridezilla and My Big RedNeck Wedding?
ON the good side, this is a lot more space confined than a full sized coffin. But Jewelrey made from a loved one’s ashes?
On the east coast is a company that takes ashes, encases them in concrete in what looks like 1/2 of a bucky-ball. They drop them in the sea and they become the foundation for growing a reef. Now that would be cool !

Far be it from me to defend American popular “culture”, but you should blame the British for bringing us “Idol”. And the Dutch (I think) for “Big Brother”. And the Swedes (and Bob Geldof) for “Survivor”.
But nobody outdoes us when it comes to obscenely inappropriate ways to “honor” our deceased loved ones. I’m pretty sure freeze-dried dead cats was an American original, for instance…

Well, thanks for almost giving me an asthma attack; I haven’t laughed this hard since election night.

Hmm, would this be a good way to personalize a blowup doll?
