A great way to keep your departed loved ones in a fun way would be to divide their main organs (or ashes if you are pricky) in various canopic jars just like the egyptians did.
What a most entertaining way to lessen the morbid impact of having the toasted (or non toasted but securedly sealed) remains
of a friend displayed on your living room inside a Bart or Homer jar?
Of course you could go for the classic four:
1. Lungs - Hapi (baboon)
2. Stomach - Duamutefla (dog)
3. Liver - Imseti (human)
4. Intestines - Qebehsenuef (falcon)
but you could add as much jars/vicera as needed!

I think you could make a decent living selling novelty funerary urns, without worrying about the whole mummification thing. No, wait, waugsqueke just suggested that very thing. |

Too bad they liquefied the brain believing that the only function it has is producing snot. |

For some people I know, they were right. |

For most HalfBakers I guess the "classic" jars wouls actually be Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Happy, Bashful and Doc ......... |
