I believed I fancied the assumption of turning myself into a diamond after I die , but actually, having my cremated ashes became a vinyl record of my favorite album is way more my style.
British company ” And Vinyly ” charges £2,000 ($3,100) for the pleasure of pressing cremated ashes into a bit of vinyl, sprinkling them in like one would sprinkle cinnamon in a carrot cake, producing up to 30 records.
Not only can the records themselves be composed of ashes, but for an additional £3,500 artist James Hague will paint from a photo, mixing ashes in with the acrylic paint.
Should you might have always dreamed of being a famous rockstar, the company may arrange for the record to be stocked all over the world in record stores for one more £1,000 extra.
So, what to come to a decision to your record? The options are plentiful. Either a recording of your voice, your favorite tunes-or for one more £500, a ” bespook” track will probably be written and recorded for you.
For the record (ahem), I might choose Human League’s Together In Electric Dreams. Or even Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now. Either way, they’re both pretty fitting, right? [ And Vinyly via Wired ]
