Huggable Urns?


Okay. I like creepy. It's why I do Halloween props. But I recently ran across something that genuinely creeped me out, and not in a, "Wow! I can use that for my haunt," kind of way.

Huggable urns. There's something deeply wrong about this.

The idea is that the proprietor was contacted from beyond the grave by dear old dad, who, at this point, had been cremated. Here's a direct quote:

Soon after my Dad passed away he started to communicate to me how upset he was that after living his life to the fullest he ended up in some ugly hard container. This was just not acceptable to him. Was I surprised!!!

Alrighty, then. I'm with Terry Pratchett on this: People who use more than one exclamation point show sure signs of insanity. Go to the site anyway. It's... interesting.

2 ghostly whispers:

  1. I wonder how old the girl is that makes these. She sounds quite young and/or off her rocker. She talks about bringing the deceased to family gatherings. Tis' a bit creepy.

    She's charging almost $200 for one of these. If someone actually likes this idea, they could go buy whatever stuffed creature they want for around $10 and stuff it with remains themselves.

  2. Can you say, "Tweak-o-Rama?"
