I've been watching Charmed and in some episode, Phoebe said:
"I can't believe how many leprechauns are at my urn". She was faking her own death and watching the funeral.
I do know what leprechauns are, but in this case, she was calling leprechauns some kids who were mourning at her urn.
Why are they called leprechauns? Is there some tradition behind this?
What exactly is a urn? I could realize urn was a table with photos of the dead person, is that right?
Thanks in advance.

If your body is creamated when you die, the ashes are put in an urn. (A ceramic pot)
As for the rest, well, few TV shows make sense or have much to do with reality.

The urn thing is a container to keep dead peoples ashes in after they are burnt!
