You're only as dead as you feel

But you wouldn't be sand, you would be ash. And that would make for a shitty hourglass.
- So you can continue to be shitty in family game night! Don't you also want to continue to cause disagreements and conflicts between family members?
- Don't let my family know, I still want to keep ruining speed Monopoly...
  
  But I wouldn't object if my ashes are like, 85% sand by volume. I'd be too dead.
  
  "Filtered Promethiel"
- Maybe you could mix the ashes with clay, have it fired and then grind or crush the ceramic into sand.
  
  It would definitely need some processing. Bit of Fumed Silica might also help to make it free-flowing.
Just gonna leave this here:

Hour Glass Urns
- Had the same business idea when I saw this post.
  
  They are one drunk night idea away from making a key chain
- "Lifetime warranty"
  
  Hopefully for the living relatives
- A fucking neckless? Damn! You could gift it grandma before the time is up.
  
  We’re all neckless after being cremated.
  
  But if we end up on a necklace, does that make it ironic?
What if I get cremated before I die?
- Then you get to participate in game night and be a disturbing anecdote.
- I mean.. not MUCH before
put my ashes in a snow globe.

Please, i think it would be funny.
- Snow globe from hell
  
  you say that like it would even be noticeable. You would probably just think it's a weird nuclear fallout snowglobe type thing, until you flipped it over and looked at the bottom. Or dropped it.
That would be one MASSIVE hourglass that would last multiple hours 💀
- The great Familial Hourglass that contains generations and generations of ashes
  
  Different-length hourglasses for different people. Grandfather over there is a 3-hours, but if you don't eat your cornflakes, Timmy, you're only going to be a 3-minutes!
- And if you stuck a dagger in it it would cause everyone to turn into sand zombies.
- not that big with water cremation I think. still quite big. it doesnt have any box ash with you. or you could make plenty of lityle ones for the whole extended family
Can't tell if gruesome or wholesome :S
Reminds me of a comic where Chaos Spacemarines from different factions are holding a meeting and the Tzeentch marine never shows up so the Khorne marine screams "HES PLAYING US LIKE A GODDAMN FIDDLE" but the real meta joke is that the Tzeentch marine is there, he's the sand in the hourglass.
Yoo new business idea for my parents. they can sell "luxury" hourglasses with my ashes.
- Or a stepping stone! I wanna be a stepping stone! You can mix ashes into concrete and it makes it stronger depending on the amount.
Dad's last pranks: the eggs are too hard
Well, now I'm sad. Thanks.
