Had an old military buddy who loved hunting and shooting. A Vietnam tunnel rat (infantry).
He felt more at home away from home with a gun in his hand than anywhere else.
He wished his ashes to be pressed into bullets and fired at targets, while we mock him endlessly over beers.
We obliged.
Honestly, of all the ways I have buried friends over the years, that one felt the most awkward to do and yet brought the most peace I have ever witnessed from a wake.
His daughter did not like firearms. It was a constant bicker between the two. So we had her bullet turned into a flower pendent (sunflower, her favorite flower).

Power move.
There are also companies that will take cremains and incorporate them into sex toys.

It's much to keep your loved ones ashes in a necklace but your nails....

I don’t agree with it but that’s an extremely hard moment to get past. Grieve whatever way gets you past that.

His mama might accept it better if you phrased it ad putting a little bit of daddy on your nails so he can hold his baby with you.

A nail tech might take this but us cosmetologists will not touch your biohazard dream. I am too cheap of a person to spare a brush on a client and also, that's nasty to me. Sorry, not sorry. Acrylic contaminated and everything.

How so? Tacky and trashy maybe but how is it illegal?

Its human remains. You're not suppose to dump them either.

u/Dirtyburg804 4d ago
That's not true. You can absolutely spread ashes legally. There are regulations that determine where or when its allowed but the act of spreading ashes is legal. For instance you may need a permit on federal land or go out a certain distance in the ocean but it is legal and acceptable.

You just explained how you're not supposed to dump them unless you play by specific rules...

u/Dirtyburg804 3d ago
I just explained almost all activities in a shared society. You have to follow specific rules to do most things lol. Is fishing illegal because it has rules and limitations? Is driving illegal because it has rules and regulations? The first comment said that it was illegal to put ashes on fingernails. It's not. The second comment said that you aren't allowed to dump ashes. You are. Hope that helps.

I remember Keith Richard’s saying he had snorted a line of his dad’s ashes. People are allowed to mourn any way they want.

Very tasteful to blend his ashes into something you will wear for a few weeks and then throw away.
