Company Presses Your Ashes Into Vinyl When You Die

Posted by samzenpus on from the music-of-the-soul dept.

Lanxon writes "Music lovers can now be immortalized when they die by having their ashes baked into vinyl records to leave behind for loved ones, reports Wired. A UK company called And Vinyly is offering people the chance to press their ashes in a vinyl recording of their own voice, their favorite tunes or their last will and testament. Minimalist audiophiles might want to go for the simple option of having no tunes or voiceover, and simply pressing the ashes into the vinyl to result in pops and crackles."

    It's already in my will: when I die I want to be cremated and have my ashes blown in the faces of people who annoyed me.

      I think I'll have my urn sent to a stranger with a note that reads: "You did this." You know...just to mess with their head.
