What is this- an urn for aunts? Should be at least 3 times that size.

These are for a small amount of cremains. My family has a few of these, to have a small amount of the deceased. The main urn is significantly larger and is with the widow.

Wait, so different family members can each have a small amount of a deceased loved one?

First time i hear if this. Is it like, really common?

My mom and aunts split my grandmother's ashes evenly in 3 identical urns. We also used incredibly tiny amounts in urn jewelry (jewelry with a small chamber).

Exactly. I only first heard about keepsake urns when we were dealing with my father's cremains last year, so I don't think it is super common.

My 2 sisters and I each have one of these small urns of our grandmother's ashes. Our mother has the large urn. Doesn't necessarily make it common, just volunteering that I have one.

Great. Now I have Mambo No. 5 in my head.

🎵 A little bit of Monica, on my right
A little bit of Rita, by my side
A little bit of Jessica, here I am... 🎵

You get the idea.

Ugh.... Humans and our ideas for the dead... Like no offense to other people... They can do whatever... But I do not need that...

My aunt would definitely not fit in there. That's an urn for your crackhead cousin

Try the all new urn butt plug. Keep your loved ones with you, always.

Why is that urn so tiny? Aren't human remains bigger? Maybe she's only got part of dad

Probably shared ashes among family members. It's weird. We did it with my dads ashes.

I've heard of making jewelry or even mixing the ashes with paint to make art. Whatever my kids wanna do with my remains when I'm gone is up to them, shoot me into space, blow me up for military research, turn me into art. Whatever, I'm gone have fun with it!

I actually think the idea of getting “bricked” from Andor is pretty cool, though you’d need a culture around it to work. Loses its impact if you’re the only one doing it.

Want to make a fortune? We advertise this on conservative sites and use the bricks to build the wall on the Mexican border.

It's a memorial urn. My mother bought a few for family that wanted something to remember her by, but her ashes aren't in it. They've been scattered.

So it's really just sentimental clutter.

Some people are really attached to physical representations of things. They want a grave site to visit, or an urn to have. It's probably just a mental thing, but it seems to be really common.

Also, "99%" of the time, you are not getting the full amount of your loved ones in a simple urn. The amount of ashes a person creates is simply too much to hold. Most of it mixes and gets dumped in the trash every day.

Change My Mind: Red Lipstick is the worst lipstick for anyone, man or woman.

Edit: For those wondering I was imagining Stop Sign Red / Fire Truck red. Dr. FrankInFurter and everyone else's examples have so far not applied like Ms. Swift above.

Also, even on fair skin it looks like clown makeup lol.

Looks good on people with fair skin. I prefer it on femmes myself, but I know there are fans of masc+makeup.

People with a darker skin tone, it starts working less.

There are like elevendy billion shades/tones of "red." If you have lips, there is a red out there that will look good on them.

All lipstick is red. Do you mean bright fire engine red?

I'd say neon green is probably a worse lipstick color.
