For those who have everything: Marie Garnier’s Funerary urn
Marie Garnier’s funerary urn includes a large urn for ashes and a smaller one for a USB key that stores personal information.
Throughout history, people have preserved the remains of loved ones in precious containers. Updating this practice to modern times is Marie Garnier’s funerary urn. The glass design, with a stainless-steel base, is a “pair of oval shapes”—one for the ashes, the other for a USB key to digitally store “personal information” for the ages.
