My ex-wife came up with what I thought was a marvelous idea: when you die you get cremated, but not at top temp, so there is more ash; the ash is then mixed with plaster of paris and made into a sculpture which can be made intoa lamp or stauary in a graden, or even mix with concrete to make a concrete bench.
There’s something . . . I don’t know . . . lampshadeish about this suggestion.
There’s company that’s uses ashes [human or pet] to create a gemstone.

From their ordering system...looks like they want approx cup of ashes.
Cost depends on the size of the carat you choose.
I don’t know why my ashes couldn’t be molded with resin into a toilet seat and put in the Dallas Cheerleaders locker room.
But with my luck I would prolly wind up in one of the player’s stalls.

I think that is done in some of the various county parks out here on the coast. These benches are more along a resin basis versus concrete.
My wife and I have said use half of our ashesw in the same bench by the ocean and the other half to gether in our church’s columbarium to be in two of our favorite places.
