HI, Check out http://www.funeralglass.co.uk/
In sadness.... Patrick

Yahoo! The perfect resting place for glassies :lol: beats the glass grave stones we came across last year (see another thread for those)
I shall change my will so that to enjoy their inheritance, my beneficiaries will have to drink from the glass too. Of course, have to set it up in such a way that only find out after the drink how many debts they have inherited 8)
Max:
LOL Patrick! I almost posted that myself yesterday. :D
There was a photo in the Daily Mail, showing a lovely blue vase with speckled ashes through the lower section. :shock:
I'm not sure about it the idea though. My Father's ashes are currently in my bedroom in a casket...I'd prefer to keep him 'all together' and scatter them in the Summer somewhere nice. :)
Glen:
Did you know that large (defined by a base diameter of approx 5" - it is manufacturer/pattern specific) Carnival Glass swung vases are known as FUNERAL VASES? The accepted wisdom is that they were, in fact, used in funeral parlors. They are very collectible, go for a bunch of money, and are hard to find (and to ship....I know that from experience :roll: )

Hi Glen,
Yes, I remember this when I came across two swung amethyst Carnival vases last year. All a little anti-climatic when you pointed out the base diameter was wrong :roll: :oops: :wink:
