What would you use this for?

As near as I can tell, this is a real thing:
Yes, that’s a cremation urn designed to resemble President Obama’s head:
Personal Cremation Urns for ashes are the latest in custom personalized cremation urns for ashes. They are created from one or two photographs with exceptional attention to detail. The advent of state-of-the-art 3D imaging means that these high-tech urns can be made to look like anyone.
Personal urns can have hair added digitaly for short haired people, as in the sample of President Obama. For longer hair we can add a wig to your specifications. A solid brass nameplate is available. This cremation urn rest on a solid black marble base. The ashes are loaded from the bottom.
Personal Urns for ashes will provide a very realistic memorial for anyone. We simply request from you a good photograph of the front of the persons face. If you have one or two from the side, then all the better.
No official word on whether the cost of it will be covered under Obamacare, but you’d think they’d give you a free one at your death-panel review.
UPDATE: Related, and pretty disturbing in its own right:
But for rancor and revenge, there’s nothing more satisfying than putting a despised face on an urn. The urns, incidentally, can also be personalized so you can keep a loved one or a hated one, complete with photos, in your home … to help you honor your loss or anger.
