Why bother with an urn? Nobody wants the ashes anyway. Most of the ashes from cremation come from a coffin. Don't use a coffin and there is almost nothing left. Have them put the ashes into a plastic bag, and if that's too raw for you put the plastic bag into a box, and take the ashes somewhere and let them go. Mine are going into the Mississippi River. I suppose this may sound heartless but I've done it with someone I loved very much and I felt really good about it. People whose loved ones die are at the mercy of the worst kind of vultures.

hehe, if all the permabulls call in their worthless certs to thwart the eeeevil shorts, they can then use them as kindling for their own cremations, making them even cheaper...would this be an increase in productivity or a hedonic thing vs. the increasing cost of firewood? I'm going to write up a biz plan -VBG-

I'm feeling way too good today, nasdung will close up 200

Yeah I read sometime back where I think the crematorium charges around 400 to 700 bucks. Still sounds like a rip off :-). I just figured I would take " ashes to ashes, dust to dust " literally :-)
