Pencils made from cremated humans

When I die, this is how I want to go — Carbon Copies. Artist Nadine Jarvis can create pencils from the carbon of human cremains. “240 pencils can be made from an average body of ash”. Just think — after you die, you can live on through other people’s sketchbooks! (via BoingBoing)

I'm not sure how I feel about this one.

I think there is something about being a part of an art piece that appeals to me. Hopefully it would be a good piece of art. lol

A tribute made of your own Ash. How romantic, truly.  Smiley

I don't know what to say.
I thought it was strange when one of my friends said he wanted to be smoked. He said  when he dies, he wants to be cremated and a little of his ashes sprinkled on some tobacco and smoked. This way we would always have a piece of him with us.  Hmmm...
