Company Presses Your Ashes Into Vinyl When You Die
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."
Will it play back demonic messages??
Stupidity only gets you so far, then you've gotta try
HEY! Get your stylus off of my B-side!
Do not play this record with a system that contains the Denon AKDL1.

It'll be nice to get a grove when I'm dead.

Perfect. I'd create an audio will and when I die, have it recorded to the record. Then at the will reading have them play the vinyl. Then I want to be dipped in platinum and framed on a tombstone. Yes, perfect.

The weight of the ashes of an average male is around 3 kg.
That's much too much material for a single vinyl record. So either they throw away most of the ashes, or it's a scam altogether.
My kids would likely take one look at it, wonder what it was, and toss it in the trash.
Can I get my ashes pressed into an ipod?
That seems like an awful lot of effort just to make sure that your family are unable to listen to your final message to them.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow, dont be alarmed now. It's just the spring clean for the may queen. Yes there are two roads you can go down, but int the long run. Theres still time to change the row you're on.
Long after the last DVD player has broken down, you'll still be able to play a vinyl record.
A physical representation of music that can be played with a paper cup and a needle is much more future proof than an encrypted digital disc that needs a combination of specific hardware and software to play. In 100 years, I doubt much of the population will have even heard of a DVD, and approximately 0% will have the equipment to play them. The effort required to build a functional record player is very small, a crappy one can be done in minutes with household objects, a decent one could be built from scratch in a day. Building a DVD player from scratch after the last one ceases to function and adapting it to whatever display technology they'll have available then would be a massive undertaking.
This sentence no verb.
