Carrie Fisher's urn is shaped like a giant Prozac pill

Carrie Fisher's legacy as a mental health advocate and her fiercely ironic sense of humor were encapsulated in one final gesture: Her Prozac pill-shaped urn.

Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, who died a day apart last week, were memorialized Thursday at a private service in their adjacent Beverly Hills homes. On Friday, paparazzi captured images of Fisher's brother Todd at Reynolds' burial at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles carrying what looked like a giant Prozac pill — which he later confirmed was his late sister's urn.

"Carrie's favorite possession was a giant Prozac pill that she brought many years ago. A big pill," Fisher told reporters, according to ET. "She loved it, and it was in her house, and Billie and I felt it was where she'd want to be."

I usually don't get too upset from celebrity deaths but Carrie Fisher hurt. I have been a Star Wars fan since I was a little kid and so this felt like losing someone I know. Yeah, that probably sounds sappy but what can I say?

she wasn't a fan of people who take themselves too seriously. She would have told all these flappy-handed outrage farmers to get a fucking grip, already.

What is wrong with me?

Those two women passing so close together is amazing.

At least they won't have to suffer the reign of Trump the troglodyte.

Everyone sane is still going to need a load of Prozac or a good substitute during this period.

Cheers.

I'm going to always state as her cause of death: She drowned in the moonlight, strangled by her own bra.
