Have any of you seen this stuff? What about the funeral homes that are selling it with thumbprints of your dead loved ones? Thoughts?

Funeral homes will do anything for cash.

nevermind, i googled it. That's exactly what I need--somebody else carrying around a nice metal copy of my thumbprint. I think they should put the person's SSN on there too, just for extra sentimental value.

That's what the commemorative tattoos are for!

Interesting variation on a very popular Victorian practice. During the mid to late 1800's hair jewelry was popular. Made from hair of the deceased.

The stuff on the left are watch chains, earrings and bracelets. The stuff on the right are broaches and pendants.

Close-up of a mother's broach with hair from her three deceased children. Even the border is made from human hair

i always thought that was a little weird, too. Very artistic, but weird.
Interesting, though I'd rather have a lampshade made from human flesh.
It puts the lotion on its skin...

To match to one you already have, right?
