Six feet under, brought to you by Costco

Maybe you read this week that Costco is now selling travel urns—well, they’re really boxes—on its Web site that meet “U.S. transportation security guidelines” and can be carried aboard a plane rather than checked.

And hey, the boxes, which come in three different colors, are a bargain.
