Alabama company will load loved ones' ashes into ammunition

[Johnfromokc]

Got this from The Thinking Atheist site on FB:

From now on, just for kicks, when someone asks me where I'm going when I die, the response will be "I will travel at 2,700 feet per second into the internal organs of a tasty forest animal." Then I'll send them this link.

A pair of Alabama conservation enforcement officers think they've come up with the perfect way for avid hunters to honor their loved ones for eternity.

Officers Thad Holmes and Clem Parnell have launched Holy Smoke LLC, a company that will, for a price, load cremated human ash into shotgun shells, and rifle and pistol cartridges.

LOL...wow. I remember watching, oh hell, whatever that show was about the family that ran the funeral home...anyway, the owner's son had passed away and he had his remains used to make diamonds for the other family members. In a way it was kinda creepy but in another way it was super cool.

No. It was a reality type show. Family Plots??? Something like that???

I googled it...it WAS called Family Plots. It used to air on A&E.

 

[Staci]

oh 6 feet under used to be on hbo i think. but it was a family run funeral business

*shakes head* "Only in America" as they say. I cant think of any of my rellos that would appreciate being made into ammo.

I'd prefer to use the company that makes them into diamonds personally..

[cam elle toe]

i love that idea!

I DID....until I saw the price!!!! The oldies would have a fit and roll in their ashes!!!!:24:
I'll just keep them in their box on top of the telly, and get my staff discount diamonds through work

 

[Staci]

yes the price is steep! LOL my aunt had my uncle cremated and part of his ashes put into a mini urn that was a necklace. one night we went out the the barn dance (if you were old enough to drink, they stapled a ticket around your necklace). when the lady at the front door put the ticket around her necklace my aunt told her that she touched her husband. the lady looked confused until my aunt told her that his ashes were in the necklace. needless to say the lady freaked out LMAO

Fucked up IMO...Bullets with remains....thats something that one would do as a victory IMO with an enemy or similar..not to a loved one
What ever happened to rest in piece .
People are starting to use ashes of remains in tattoos now as well....but they take down the pictures on the wall because they cant stand the thought of the loved one passed away.
