And Vinyly is a new company that wants to help you stay close to the dead through the power of music, and the power of putting their cremated ashes into a vinyl record.<\/h4>\n

‘And Vinyly’ is a UK company started by Jason Leach over 6 years ago that puts the ashes of your loved ones into vinyl records for a unique way to remember them. The company accepts ashes, whether it be a whole person, just a body part (for burials and accidents), and pets for their musical, posthumous transformation.<\/p>\n

The company takes a light-hearted approach to the morbid service, even offering ‘FUNeral’ packages where they will host your funeral with music and jokes. And Vinyly\u00a0has “10 steps to immortality” when you use their services,\u00a0step 6\u00a0is a goody.<\/p>\n

    A recent video detailing the efforts of a man trying to preserve his mother’s recollections that she had recorded before death and finding the perfect solution in And Vinyly shows the emotional benefits of the company and how it can be used not just as a novelty but as a beautiful memory of those who have passed.<\/p>\n
