Final Note: Immortalize your ashes on an LP

Kai Ryssdal Aug 31, 2010

This final note today, brought to you by a company over in the UK called — and listen carefully now And Vinyly. As in records made from vinyl.

For the low, low cost of just 2,000 pounds (about US$3,000), after you die you can have your ashes made into a record. Check it out for yourself at AndVinyly.com.

While you’re there think about this: If you’re going to have your earthly remains pressed into a record when you go, what’s the song going to be? I’ve been trying to decide for hours now. Still, nothing. Please, no “Stairway to Heaven” suggestions.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
