Die as music

How to remember the deceased? How about in the form of soundwave?  Leach’s UK-based company And Vinyly gives us an opportunity to press the ashes of the dead onto records.

In Jason Leach's mind, dust to dust ashes to ashes may not be the best way to memorialize the dead, while he came up with an idea to let them be immortal.

Jason Leach loves vinyl records and he runs a few music labels from his home in Scarborough on the North East coast of England. He has also founded a very different vinyl venture - he presses the ashes of people who have been cremated into records which serve as a sonic memorial to their lives.

Every vinyl contains a brief summary of the departed and some of his/her favourite songs. In addition, a unique cover ( normally a portrait) will be made for the deceased. 

Jason thinks memorializing those who passed away in the form of sounds can make people feel more comfortable to face the death, and also this is a suitable way to pass the memory of the following generations.
