Pirate Skull Cremation Urn - Ebony Black

The pirate skull memorial urn is for the people who would have found a solemn urn a little funny - the irreverent ones whose family can still hear exactly what they would have said about all this, the ones with a boat who flew the skull and crossbones off the back of it, the ones who loved the old stories and the movies and turned up at every festival in costume, and the ones who simply did things their own way and never asked anybody's permission. Choosing it is a decision about tone, and families usually make it fast: the person would have wanted the joke, and the family would rather be accurate than solemn. Real pirate crews were more orderly than the movies suggest - they signed written articles before sailing, every hand had a vote, and a captain who lost the crew's confidence could be voted out. This pirate skull cremation urn is a tribute to a person who lived by their own code, and to everyone who laughed along.

The Ebony Black hand-applied enamel is an inky color, as black as an old sea chest. It brings to mind an old eye patch tucked in a drawer, waiting for the next occasion.
