Company turns funeral ashes into records

A UK company is offering a service to press the ashes of loved ones into vinyl records.

The firm, named And Vinyly, is offering a range of options to customers hoping to be immortalised in audio.

The basic package for both people and pets costs £2,000 and provides up to 12 minutes of audio per side of vinyl. The package also includes standard artwork and labels containing the date of birth and date of death of the deceased.

Clients must supply their own audio track or may opt for silence punctuated only by the crackling and popping of their ashes against the needle of the record player.

The company's website also offers the assurance that "despite the sites light hearted attitude to death, all our services are carried out with the utmost respect & care". (sic)
