Fireworks

Most people express their desires of where they would like their ashes scattered before they have died but here are a few new ideas to go out with a bang!

One of the most popular ideas of late is too be loaded into a firework with a combustible powder and sent soaring into the night sky in a blaze of glory.

A small company in Switzerland use the ashes to create a lasting memento in the form of a diamond.  The ashes are heated and pressurised to produce the gem which is then cut and polished before being added to jewellery of your choice.

Maybe you would prefer the final trip of a lifetime by sending your ashes to the moon, closer to heaven I suppose if nothing else.

Another heirloom to remember your loved ones by, having them added to a handcrafted piece of glass art.  Only a teaspoon full of ashes are used in each item so that more than one can be made or the rest of the ashes can be scattered in required.

Someone has actually started turning ashes into pencils, and just one dead body can produce up to 240 of them.

Finally, a portrait of your loved one painted with their ashes.  The ashes are mixed with a special solution to form a paste which is then used to form the picture.

I think I like the diamond idea the best so that I can always be close, although I’m not sure if it would be to creepy feeling like your being watched all the time!
