I've made my brother promise that if i die before him he'll get my ashes tattoo'd on his skin and vice versa i think it's a great way to always keep someone with you. I got a tattoo after my grandfather died but as he was buried there was no ash. But still,its on my wrist and every time i see i'm reminded of him and his stregnth :D

I guess this gives new meaning to the phrase 'leave a record of your existence behind'....

That sounds awesome. Better than being stuck cremated in a little box for eternity. I want the color picture vinyl record though. It would be like the gold/platinum record trophy I never received. Then the archaeologists would think I was a big rock star.

I've been planning for years to get myself turned into diamonds when I fall of the perch!! My Mother nearly croaked herself when I informed her about a decade ago that if I go first she can wear me as a tiara Vinyl is an interesting progression.....if you believe in reincarnation, then the record/song would have to be "Coming Round Again"

I want my ashes to be fed to a cow than have the paddy launched from my friends Donny and Ackmonster's pumpkin trebuchet into the local ranger station. Lapiche

I think this would be the perfect way to get even with my son, for driving me nuts! The song could be Blue Oyster Cults 'Don't Fear the Reaper'. I do have one concern though---Since this is a vinyl recording and most people don't have record players anymore, what would they play it on?
