I hate to say it, but the urn is actually pretty classy looking. It could pass for Art Deco easily enough unless someone looks closely to see the engraving on the base.
I actually just looked up "pall" and was kind of surprised to discover it's the sheet over the body, and not the body at all. So 'appalled' isn't so much 'like a corpse' as it is 'with a death-sheet over it.'
Umm okay I actually like it. I like the color on it and think the design is cool. I'm also *quite* shocked you wouldn't want it. I would have actually thought it would be something you would dig. Good to know.
Of course, when I check out, I want my survivors to give me a very modest ceremony (after the hospital has pulled all the good parts) a quiet cremation (though if I have relatives alive, they'll scream about that), and take the remainder of the life insurance and throw one hell of an Irish wake.
