VIENNA, March 2O (Reuters) -
Vienna's leading funeral
company, steeped in tradition, is moving with the times: the
bereaved can have their loved one back in a cremation urn in
the shape of a football.
The black and white urn joins more conservative containers
in sombre and art-deco designs in the range offered by
Bestattung Wien just as Austria prepares to co-host the Euro
2008 soccer championship.
No one has yet ordered the 362 euro (281.57 pounds) urn,
which has been available for two weeks.
