When i was younger (much younger) during my major Led Head days in highschool, i had proclaimed that when i bite the bullet, i wanted stairway to heaven blared into my casket for eternity. I know I know, in hindsight its one of the lamest songs to have to listen to for eternity, christ its already 7 minutes long, do we need to hear that on repeat.... worse yet i could have chosen inagaddadavida by iron butterfly....... Well now i have a new option to consider, i could have my remains cremated and pressed into 180g vinyl LP's featuring my own sonic creations so that my friends and family could literally listen to my memory for the rest of eternity (or at least until the last turntable in existence dissapears)
This is precisely the service that and vinyly offers to its customers. Included in the package is obviously your cremated remains in vinyl format featuring anythign from original musical recordings done by yourself or others, spoken word, or even just silence (if your into that whole ironic hipster bullshit). The vinyl comes in a custom designed sleve featuring original artwork and the company also offers funeral service arrangement services....(although judging from the site, this company is run by former pill popping party kids, not so sure my family would appreciate a UK Hard House rave wake....)
This is a neat idea that allows you to share your memory with your loved ones in the form of the only universal language, music. If you are a musician, you could encapsulate your memory the way you want it to be remembered, either a sample of your body of work, or if you are a non musician, a collection of songs that held some personal significance, or a collection of songs that you hate and know will drive your friends mad for eternity.
either way its totally Win-Win!
