When You Die, a Company Will Press Your Ashes Into a Vinyl 
If youre reading this, then music is hopefully something that preoccupies you the most in life. Youll listen to it while youre getting dressed, while youre getting drunk and while youre doing just about anything that doesnt require immediate silence. But, if youre reading this, then youre also probably a human, and have undoubtedly thought about lifes final curtain call.
Were all going to die sorry to break it to you and when that day comes, what will happen to our meticulously catalogued music collections? Will they be left to fester, alongside Simon and Garfunkel and Herb Alpert & The Tijiuana Brass Band LPs in a Heart Foundation charity shop? Will they be left in the attic to collect dust with the Christmas decorations? Or will you be able to take your signed copy of Arctic Monkeys Beneath The Boardwalk to the grave?
Vinyly wants to put you in the music, literally. If youre cremated, then the company will combine your remains with the vinyl process, creating thirty sides of vinyl. If youre feeling boring, or want to continue your narcissist tirade upon your family into the afterlife, then this could be a recording of your voice. Or, if youre feeling lazy, then the companys house band can cut together a track for you. Do you want a trap tune made in your honour? These are your guys.
The company was founded by techno record label boss Jason Leach, who was inspired after he saw an American TV clip of someones ashes being shot out of a cannon. Naturally, because cannons and music link together, he wondered how he could add music into the equation of death.
Business isnt exactly booming in the dead vinyl trade, though, as only four people have taken up the offer. Including a club DJ whose family wanted him to spin a few more times at his favourite club.
Price is a big factor, too. The whole recording process costs 2000, and with only 24 minutes to record on, its quite a big investment. But, its probably worth the money when your family gets to put a needle through you each time they want to hear your song.
