If you've got $2600 and a desire to really be remembered after you die, consider buying a personalized, three-dimensional urn modeled after a photograph of your own head. (Or buy the smaller version for $600 and keep candy in it.) [OhGizmo!]

At least it isn't a coffin modeled after a 3D scan of your own body and painted to look realistic...
Actually, I think I'll patent that and make a company out of it.
I'm totallly gonna get the $600 dollar version, and specify in my will that it's to be kept filled with dark chocolate receess peanut butter cups
Oh that is SO creepy. And funny. And tasteless. But mostly creepy.
Also - here's the question... how do you decide which 'version' of you to have turned into a jar - the elder you which is how your family will remember you, the younger your - which is likely how you'd like to think of yourself, or a photoshoped version of you - how you wish you looked?
My wife wants her ashes to be used to make a large garden gnome. I wonder if they could use a picture of her to make a gnome with her face? THAT would be awesome.
Nah, I'll wait for Futurama tech to come around so I can be a live head in a jar instead of just a head-jar.
No one wanted to see my three-dimensional head when I was alive, I don't think there will be any great desire to see it after my demise.
My ex-boyfriend, the animator and 3-D modeler, has done several projects where he had to recreate someone's full head in this way. One application required simulating (in the virtual environment, of course) someone removing their own head and setting it down on a desk. I can just imagine the simian "ooh, ooh, ooh" that would emanate from him as soon as he saw this. :)
I hope the Jackson's don't try this. I mean, think about it...
The only way to be remember-ed is with a thousand foot high tomb that shoots fire out of its eyes and screams "REMEMBER ME!!"
Duh.
@ThinkerTDM: If you thought that was snarky and bitter, you have no idea what I sound like when I'm snarky and bitter. That, my friend, was simple poking fun.
I just want to be stuffed and mounnted like a dead bear, and put on display on the sofa watching TV... with the remote wedged firmly in my cold, dead hand!
@ThinkerTDM: What? She was clearly saying this with fondness. There was even a smiley. Projecting, much?
Ha ha ha ha! Kind of like a gargoyle, right?
Just the thing to inflict on the surviving inlaws.
and they are just getting these from thatsmyface.com and marking them up about 300%....
the actual place that makes these is much cheaper and much more variety
@futuresuperbowlMVPJayCutler: There is someone who took a fabric printer, pictures of his face, and printed a ski mask that looked like his face. It was ultra-creepy and Buffalo-Bill-esque. I would create a trust where if the head was ever broken or stolen, funding would be available to have 2 more made and conditional to the will being executed...
@osiris73: They replied back to me and the WILL make a gnome with her likeness for a ball-park price of $4,000! Woo-hoo!
@microcars: This place is amazing. Thanks for pointing me to it, microcars. HERE COME MY BIRTHDAY PRESENTS.
Should be: "Are you a vengeful person and want to haunt those close to you after you die? Here's something really creepy to help you do that."
