This is the craziest thing I've heard (today anyway)............
Is there life after death? Do you believe vinyl is here to stay and will survive forever? If you're a true vinyl lover the answer is YES! If so, let me introduce you to And Vinyly, the “perfect resting place for vinyl loversâ€. And vinyly is a Company, apparently based in the UK, that presses your ashes into a vinyl recording, together with your favourite music, messages, and last will and testament!
This service can be as basic as it gets i.e. no music, just the pops and surface noise generated by your ashes pressed in the LP or can be custom tailored to satisfy all your needs: from fancy LP covers to vinyl distribution worldwide. You can have your ashes spinning worldwide on audiophile turntables equipped with Mortofon cartridges (see pic on the And Vinyly website!), perhaps even at HiFi Shows, if you choose some good audiophile track to be recorded.
The basic package included 30 copies of your “final†LP, with LP cover and labels, all for 3000 UKP. Not sure which kind of music to press? You might decide to have some “personal†track written just for you and then pressed in the post-mortem LP, but please note that each new track will cost you an additional 500 UKP.
If you don't like the idea of being cremated, you can decide to “store†just one body part (you decide! Size doesn't matter, right?), cremate that and build your LP with the resulting ashes. The “service†is also available for pets (costs are the same, though). The website also sells records (“Death to vinyl recordsâ€) and merchandising (T-shirts etc.). The most hilarious section of the And Vinyly website are the following “10 steps to immortalityâ€...do not forget step 6, of course!!!
