\"ModestNovelty purveyor Archie McPhee has just released its “modest urn;” an inexpensive cremains repository for the thrifty.<\/p>\n

Everybody has a cheap relative and death can be expensive. You know when they die they’d be mad at you if you spent thousands of dollars on a fancy urn! That’s why we made our Modest Urn for the frugal. This metal can, which mysteriously resembles a coffee can, comes with a sticker sheet so you can customize it for the deceased. It’s 5″ tall, 4″ diameter and has a volume of 62.8 cubic inches. In addition, there’s a reusable interior metal seal and an exterior plastic cap to keep the ash from falling out. Includes a fill-in-the-blanks eulogy for easy mourning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The coffee-can resemblance is more than accidental; the urn<\/a> is labeled “Hallowed Grounds.” They also have a pet version<\/a> bearing the legend, “Freshly Roasted.” The backs of the urns also have an Ingredients label listing the contents as “Dearly Departed” and “Beloved Companion” respectively.<\/p>\n

Here’s their promotional video:<\/p>\n

If the deceased had a sense of humor, this would be sort of an awesome receptacle for their ashes. You could also just use it to store coffee and make guests vaguely nervous.<\/p>\n
