Japanese funeral home ad re-creates skeleton with flowers

(J&S BBDO/Nishinihon Tenrei)It’s common practice to have a floral arrangement at a funeral. But a new ad for a Japanese funeral home is showcasing a unique twist by using pressed flowers to re-create the shape of the human skeleton.

The image, titled Life Is Endless, is composed of a variety of colorful flowers.

“The March 11th earthquake and tsunami had a traumatic effect on Japan. Issues of life and death, hope and despair, beauty and tragedy became an all too real part of people’s everyday lives,” reads a press release from Tokyo-based ad agency J&S BBDO, which created the image for the Nishinihon Tenrei funeral home. “Funerals became a commonplace ordeal as the nation dealt with unprecedented loss.”

J&S BBDO recently debuted the image at a trade show, saying it was created to counter the tradition in Japanese culture of funerals being “somber events accented with black and white.” The company said it was tasked with coming up with a concept that would “bend the tradition without being seen as disrespectful.”

The funeral industry in the U.S. has had some unusual moments of its own in recent years.

For example, in May 2012 a gold-plated coffin was put on sale for $35,000 that was based on the same model used for Michael Jackson after his death. That same month, a New England man was buried in a coffin made from the wood of a 103-year-old tree he had spent decades preserving.

And in March, a Philadelphia couple decided to turn their deceased relative’s funeral into a festive environment by getting married at his wake.

U.S. returning looted Tyrannosaurus skeleton to Mongolia

By Deborah Zabarenko

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A 70-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton from the Gobi Desert that was smuggled to the United States in pieces and auctioned for more than $1 million was returned on Monday by the U.S. government to Mongolia.

The huge Tyrannosaurus bataar's skull was on display at a repatriation ceremony near the United Nations in New York, where officials of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan and the U.S. Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) formally turned over the nearly complete skeleton to Mongolian officials.

Mongolia demanded the return of the 8-foot-tall (2.4 meter), 24-foot-long (7.3 meter), mostly reconstructed cousin of the Tyrannosaurus rex last year after commercial paleontologist Eric Prokopi sold it at a Manhattan auction last spring for $1.05 million.

Prokopi, based in Gainesville, Florida, bought and sold whole and partial fossilized dinosaur skeletons.

U.S. authorities filed charges against Prokopi in October and seized the skeleton, which is comprised of fossilized bones welded to a metal frame.

"This is one of the most important repatriations of fossils in recent years," ICE Director John Morton said in a statement. "We cannot allow the greed of a few looters and schemers to trump the cultural interests of an entire nation."

Morton said the repatriation would "undo a great wrong by returning this priceless dinosaur skeleton to the people of Mongolia."

Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj thanked U.S. prosecutors, judges, investigators and paleontologists in a statement: "Our two countries are separated by many miles, but share a passion for justice and a commitment to putting an end to illegal smuggling."

In addition to the skeleton, the United States is also helping to return more fossils to Mongolia, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.

The Tyrannosaurus bataar lived some 70 million years ago in what is now Mongolia, and its skeleton was discovered in 1946 in a joint Soviet-Mongolian expedition to the Gobi Desert, according to court and federal documents.

It was imported to the United States in 2010 from Great Britain, with customs documents that falsely claimed it originated in Great Britain and was valued at $15,000, far below its auction price.
