A crematorium in the UK has partnered with a record production company to offer a service that presses a deceased person’s ashes into a vinyl record.

The service allows for customization of the record, including cover art and album sleeves, with options for clear, black, or multicolored vinyl. Customers can add personal touches like homemade music or voice memos to the record.

Matthew Brook of the Westerleigh Group, which owns the crematorium: “I wouldn't even hesitate to have this done for myself, I think music plays such an important part in people’s lives. You do have those songs that you think about and you think about a certain person.”

Prices for creating a vinyl record with a loved one’s ashes range from £1,490 (about $1,800) to £1,755 (about $2,223). The crematorium also offers other unique services, such as sending “letters to heaven” and the option to send ashes to space.
