I was in the Marmol and Onyx village of Tecali going up and down the street asking for ceniceros. I was looking for ash containers for the the departed. Ceniza is ash and container I thought would ad the ero. The word sounded familiar. I thought I was using the right word, but they kept showing me ash trays. Finally one young lady got what I was asking about and told me the word I was after was Urna. Since nobody smokes anymore, I had confused the word ashtray with ash container. I found a great Day of the Dead life size skull made out of white unglossy marmol. Day of the Dead items are hot right now back in the old country.
