De-Pressing record

Post by Sidewinder »

a little off topic:

There is now a company in England that will turn your ashes (1 teaspoon full) into a vinyl record. I wonder what the royalties are for Queen's "who wants to live forever" are.

At around 4000$ :shock: maybe not!

company called Vinyly

You can also have your ashes pressed into a diamond, swirled into a glass paperweight, put into a biodegradable container from which a tree sprouts, mixed into oil paint and turned into a painting, launched into space, put into fireworks, mixed into concrete, made into pencil lead, and more. Of course, if I were to be pressed into a record, it had better be shellac. I'm sure ground bone ash makes a nice filler. ;)

I'm thinking that a Victor VI would make a nice urn... :lol:

Now you know what would be really interesting, if not a bit bizarre or macabre: having your pre-recorded voice transferred to the record made from your ashes, and officiating your own funeral! That'd save you the cost of an expensive service, or a casket! :lol:
