Seems if that's what he wants... but ashes over a fishing does seem more appropriate than mixing the ashes in with 1 oz. of No. 8 shot.

I would not want my ashes to be used as a substitute shot buffer. For one thing, it's got to be a lot more abrasive on a fine shotgun barrel than the plastic filler. Just how I'd want my friends to remember me: eroding their shotgun barrels. :)

I had not thought of that, however, would it be an issue since most of use shot cups?

We were just figuring to use a Lee dipper instead of mixing it with the shot in the reservoirs. But it won't get past the talking stage if I know Ginny. :-)

I'm not too convinced the ashes would be very abrasive, they are kind of greasy, from what I've seen, which is a couple burials at sea.
