What Could Possibly Go Wrong: Cremated Ash Ammo
Posted on July 27, 2011 by Daniel Zimmerman
Has someone you loved recently passed on to that great trap field in the sky? Is deer hunting with Grandpa one of your fondest childhood memories? Or would you just like a way to make sure your trusted Labrador can continue to help you bring in those ducks once he’s gone? If you’re struggling with how to appropriately memorialize that certain someone, the creative folks at Holy Smoke may have just the solution for you…
Holy Smoke will load the cremated remains of your special someone into live ammunition, either shotgun shells or cartridges. How and where you fire your loved one’s remains is up to you.[/b]
I can imagine that indoor range owners may not be thrilled with you spreading your best buddy’s ashes around their facility. And there seems to be a certain ‘ick’ factor to shooting a deer with a 30-06 bullet that’s carrying Grandpa’s essence along with it. But maybe that’s me.
This kind of uniqueness doesn’t come cheaply, however. A box of 250 Fido-infused shotgun shells will run you $1,250. Cartridges are even more expensive on a per-launch basis. You can add a “mantle-worthy, finished, wooden handcrafted box” with labels for an additional $100.
So if you’re trying to figure out how to provide the right kind of closure to the loss of that special someone, Holy Smoke ammo could be just the send-off you’ve been looking for.

Please tell me this is a joke.
What kind of sick bastard would contemplate Grand Pa's Urn and come up, " I know, Lets cast him into hunting ammo!".
And people wonder how Obama got elected ?

Unfortunately, I don't think it is, I checked out the website, looks legit. Although, I don't personally have any moral objection to it.

Now if Grampa had a lot of enemies that outlived him, there would be a bit of satisfaction about offing them with Gramps remains ;D ;D

I suppose it's better than mixing him into a douche so he can get in one more. ;D

hmmmm....mix his ashes into a tube of KY jelly then give it as a "gag" gift at a bridal shower.....
I'll be chuckling over there in the corner :D :D :D

In Hunter Thompson Fashion, I suppose,....
Funeral
On August 20, 2005, in a private ceremony, Thompson's ashes were fired from a cannon atop a 153-foot (47 m) tower of his own design (in the shape of a double-thumbed fist clutching a peyote button) to the tune of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man."[35] Red, white, blue, and green fireworks were launched along with his ashes. As the city of Aspen would not allow the cannon to remain for more than a month, the cannon has been dismantled and put into storage until a suitable permanent location can be found. According to his widow Anita, Thompson's funeral was financed by actor Johnny Depp, a close friend of Thompson. Depp told the Associated Press, "All I'm doing is trying to make sure his last wish comes true. I just want to send my pal out the way he wants to go out."[35]
