Where to get a human skull-part 2?

Skull

In the United States, the sale and purchase of human skeletal material is far less regulated than most people seem to believe. The only federal law regulating human bones is narrowly focused on native American bones and grave goods. This law is known as NAGPRA, the Native American Grave Protection and Repratriation Act of 1990. Otherwise, at this writing (May 2008) only two states have laws that restrict ownership and transfer of human skeletal material: Georgia and Tennessee. In all other states it is legal to purchase and own human skeletal material as long as it complies with NAGPRA. There are several internet vendors who import human skeletal material from Asia for sale. Vendor - Osta in Canada. 

No I don't want to dig up a dead body. But I enjoy the aesthetics of the human skull. I suspect a lot of people do. After all, skull images are everywhere. Anyway, I would like to own an authentic human skull. Size doesn't matter. I was researching online and saw many places that sell human skulls, but elsewhere I saw that it's illegal for anyone not in the medical field to own human remains other than ashes. Is there any way to get a human skull?

You may buy a very realistic plastic imitation. Some medical schools are going that route, and reducing the use of cadavers. At this point, in PA at least, your only access to human remains is to inherit them, be a doctor, or I suppose collect your own.
