Class. You can’t buy it, you know. But what you can buy for the Arsenal or Man Utd fan in your family ( you know the type…never been to Manchester or North London in their life) is a cremation urn in the shape of a football.
I know, I know. You’re probably wondering why no one has thought of it before. But luckily a funeral company in Vienna has finally done it.
A snip at £281.00 each.

Some American cemeteries contain mausoleums larger than many homes in the third world. And a cemetery in Hollywood, California even has video kiosk memorials and nighttime summer film screenings .
That said, a football (soccer ball) urn isn’t that far fetched, considering some of the funerals and burial forms that have been done in the past.
Let’s not forget “Willie the Wimp” being buried in a Cadillac: http://www.srvrocks.com/lyrics-willie_the_wimp.htm
Additionally, a company, Vic Fern & Company based in Nottingham, makes the world’s weirdest coffins. Available coffins include: a canal boat, rubbish can, electric guitar, skateboard, even a Louis Vuitton handbag, and more. Here’s a link: http://worldrec.info/2007/03/20/the-worlds-weirdest-coffins/
Regardless of taste, when there’s a market there will be a product to feed it.

I could not help but to reply to this post… because I recently saw this website advertising such urns. http://inthelighturns(dot)com/street.html
