The Lovely (Sounding) Bones: this Idea Kicks Ash

Ever wanted to become one with your music? Well, here’s one way, though you’d be hard-pressed to try it:

For those who can’t afford to have their ashes sent to space or who may not like the notion of being screwed into the ground post-mortem, here’s another solution: have your ashes pressed into a vinyl record and spin for all eternity.
For about $3,000, your cremated remains, parts of your remains, or your pet’s remains can be immortalized in a limited-edition run of 30 records. In a 24-minute segment, you can record your final thoughts or your favorite songs, or you can pay extra to have a UK band write a song for you.
The company, And Vinyly, says you can “live on from beyond the groove.”

Could bring a whole new dimension to the art of vinyl scratching at your favorite haunts… also the notion of “laying down some tracks.” Rave in Peace?

In a vague way this reminds me about how in the former Soviet Union and Eastern bloc nations in the 1950s, underground clubs would use records of pirated music etched onto discarded medical X-ray films (sometimes called Bone Records):
