As you read the original article, you will discover this is not the only company that offers to let people do something unique with their remains. Another company will even press your ashes into a phonographic record that can be played. Yet another company will make your ashes part of potting soil in which your relatives can grow a plant.

For most people this is probably in the “well, it’s good to have options, I guess” category. On the other hand, if you do want to have something unusual done with your remains, it appears that you have several choices.

As you may imagine, it is important to have anything unusual spelled out in your estate plan. Do not just tell someone what you want done. If you want your plan to carry weight with the court, let alone your family, it needs to be written down officially.

Consult an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure your wishes are honored.
